So how bad are these UV led nail lamps for you? Didn't want one at all but sounds like properly done gel nails can last like 6 weeks and it's just a couple minutes exposure?
I had the pleasure of trying out these beautiful polishes by Victorian Varnish! Actinic Rays is a solar polish that starts off white and turns into a vibrant pink in the sun and Pride Pizzazz is a fun orange polish that fell in love with right away!

First, my nails were feeling kinda weak just due to all my experiences prior to polygel. I decided to give them a break from stuff a while ago. However, my nails kept snagging and pulling on things and causing MORE problems.
Plus even with cuticle care and maintenance my cuticles for some reason just absolutely go to shit when I don't have anything on my nails. My former nail tech told me this is actually really common, so, interesting.
Was sick of them looking terrible so I decided fuck it, polygel time.
I didn't like the dual forms I used last time. The c-curve does not match my nails. Decided to attempt the paper/sticker forms. I really liked them! Super duper easy to use.
Set aside the entire evening and really took my time. Didn't go very long on the extension, just a bit.
Loving how they look. And they feel quite sturdy. So, we shall see how they do!
I have decided I really need to start taking better care of my nails.
It's all part of like, overall feelings of worthiness and stuff. Complicated feels!
So tonight I sat down and swatched (most) of my gel polish colors. I have some gellish colors I need to swatch still but I don't like them as much cuz the colors aren't as vibes as these.
Two summers ago, I came upon a "free" pile on the sidewalk in my neighborhood. I took home a classic-type kid's tricycle (that my friend's 2+ year old will be trying out this week!) and a beautiful steel pail full of nails. These are a few of the nails.#blackAndWhite#nails#photography

OC It's Winter here in Australia. These are my snowflake nails that I painted for my day-trip to the Snowy Mountains last year.
