Gel Nails Tutorial~!

Why go to a nail salon when you can do that ish at home?! I mean like, seriously, why go to a place filled with fumes of acetone where the stylists does a lousy job while talking shit about you in her native language?

IDK about you, but I much rather be at home in my Spongebob PJs, feet up, sipping tea, watching Pretty Little Liars as I do my nails myself!

Let me show you how to do your nails like a pro!

What you will need:UV Nail Dryer
Nail file
Nail buffer
Cotton Balls
Primer
 Gel Base Coat
Gel Nail polish
Gel Top Coat
Alcohol

Step one: File your nails down to your desired shape.

Step two: Buff your nails not to much tho, we just want a slightly textured surface so the polish will stick!

Step three: Take your favorite primer and prime your nails, one thin coat will suffice.

Step four:   Now take the gel base coat and apply one generous coat. Make sure to even it out so it isn't to (c)lumpy. Wait for it to dry a bit.

Step five: Press the automatic timer button and stick your hand under the UV dryer. When the light goes off, you may take your hand out. Should only take about 45 seconds to a minute. MY UV nail dryer is by Nailene, and can range from $45-60 dollars. You can purchase it on amazon! :)

Step six: Apply your gel color coat in one coat, and wait a bit for it to dry.

Step seven: Stick your hand under the timed UV.

Step eight: Apply another coat of the gel polish, wait for it to dry again.

Step nine: Stick your hand under the timed UV.

Step ten: Apply your gel top coat. A thin coat will do. Wait for it to dry a bit.
Step eleven: Stick yo hannnnd under that UV light.
