At Home Gel Nails (with NO UV Light)

One of the things I have seen on Pinterest lately is this at home gel nails. I am in love with gel nails, i got them for prom and they actually did last two week for me. And let me tell you, my nails chip about 4 hours after i paint them! They are so bad to me, but this gel stuff actually worked. So I researched (i over use this word) how to do this at home gel nails and it sounded pretty easy. Oh here is the link to the pin I found, Gel Nails at Home.

 I looked on there home page and found where they sold this product "Nutra Nail" and where I discovered that they stores who actually do carry it were slim compaired to what they say on their websites. Target, CVS = no by the way. Walmart had the cheapest, it was 9.$$ (ill use that when i don't know the exact price). So I bought it along with a color that I wanted to try on my nails because with this gel process you dont have a limited supply of colors :)

So lets try this and see if it works!

This is the nail polish remover I use, it is really really good. Like the stuff they use in the nail salon, and its pretty cheap!


Okay so the boxed one is the one that will be used, so pull that one out!

These are the nail polishes I will use :) Here are the directions from pinterest that I will follow.

1. Apply 1 thin (but enough for coverage) coat of 5 Minute Gel Polish.
2. Apply Base Coat (1 coat of 3 way glaze). <-- NYC for me
3. Apply 2 coats of colored polish.
4. Finish with a coat of 3 way glaze. <-- NYC

The gel activator stuff feels like nail glue, i hope it works!

Here is the finished product!
I'll keep posting on how long it last :)
