Wanna do Your Nails at home?
Then you’re in the right place, sis. Whether you’re trying to save some coins, get creative with your nail sets, or just want the freedom to switch up your nails whenever you feel like it, I’ve got you.
Here are three ways to get started:
1) Make Press On Nails Using Gel Polish
Paint and design your press-ons with gel polish, then apply them with regular nail glue. It’s how I get the gel-nail look without curing my hands under a nail lamp.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF: You want custom, reusable nails without applying gel directly to your natural nails.
2) Do Gel-X Nails at Home
Apply full-cover nail tips with gel adhesive and cure them directly onto your nails.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF: You don’t mind using a nail lamp and want a longer-wear nail enhancement you’re willing to properly prep for and remove.
3) Use Performance Polish
Get the look and longer wear of gel with a fast-drying traditional polish — no curing required.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF: You prefer regular polish but want something that lasts longer.
