• Homemade Soft Gel Nails

  I'm a big fan of doing nails. I go to the nail salon to do gel nails when I am not busy, but I always try to look for ways to do my own nails.

  I was shopping around in HK and found a store that sells soft gel sets. I gave it a try as the price is pretty reasonable and I always wanted to do gel nails myself so I don't have to spend that much money on my nails. 

  The set contains 1. UV light (for you to dry the gel), 
                             2. Any colour/ transparent gel polish 
                             3. 2 nail filers - a sponge one and a rougher one
                             4. a bottle of cleanser
                             5. a bottle of acrylic remover 

  

  I picked a transparent gel polish so I can basically use any normal nail polish and make it into gel nails. The only you need to do is to put a layer of the transparent gel polish under AND on top of the normal nail polish in order to seal it. 

  I've used a very very light pink nail polish by Revlon this time and it looked like this:

  

  It doesn't look thick like the ones that you can get in nail salons. They don't even really look like gel nails. The best thing about it is to prevent the polish from chipping - so you don't have to re-apply or fill in the edges every 2 days or so. 

  I'm gonna try a darker nail polish next time so stay tuned!
