NOTD: Gel Nails

I'm sure everyone has heard of the whole craze about gel nails and nail polishes and how it is the new best thing ever. Anyway, I have been reluctant to get gel nails just because the polish itself is so expensive and getting them done at the salon is even more expensive. However, my mother just raved about them and she paid for me to get them, hence why I finally tried them out. Well, I'm a believer, this product is awesome.

Even in the salon, I was shown multiple times their durability. The lady would wipe my nails with towels and what not and they stayed. No more freaking out about ruining my manicure on the way home. These last like no other. The only time it came off was when my nail broke. But I wasn't expecting it to stay anyway since my nail broke off with it. It hurt a lot since these are all my real nails. Anyway, got some cute light blue color on my toes as well, very summery.

One month later, they are still on. My recommendation? Definitely get them since they are worth the price. However, I would not recommend getting them if your nails grow quickly since the color will shift upwards with the growth quite noticeably. As you can see with my french tips, it has become quite noticeable. If you are the type of girl (or guy, I don't judge) who likes to change their nails frequently, these are definitely way too expensive to only keep for a short amount of time and they are hard to get off. If you like long lasting color, gel nails are the ones for you!

Note: Today I return from my trip from the Philippines! Hopefully I'm not incapacitated by jetlag.
