Latest DIY manicure — cat eye gel nail color over builder gel. I’m loving builder gel on my natural nails, no tips!

#LTKBeauty #LTKStyleTip

Since I’m my own nail lady, I made sure to get myself in for a fill. (I am not a nail tech, I just love to treat myself to an at-home manicure.)💅🏽

Using the cordless e-file I remove the existing gel nail color from my nails, making sure to leave the builder gel on. Then, I clean up the cuticle area, making sure not to skip this crucial step of nail prep. Once my nails were fully prepped, I moved on with the manicure.

I apply base coat to the bare nail area, being sure not to touch the skin with the product. Fully cure with a UV LED nail lamp between each coat of builder get and then applied cat-eye nail polish. ✨🪩 cateye nail color it gives it the fun nail art vibe without any art skills required. I finish with a clear topcoat, cure, then wash my hands and apply cuticle oil.

Style tip- keep your manicure looking fresh by keeping a cuticle oil stick / pen handy so your manicure stays looking fresh!

This was the quickest soft gel nail application I’ve done! I like that these nails come with a neutral base and then have the French tip / wavy line designs already printed on them. All you have to do is adhere and top coat (using a UVLED nail lamp at both steps). No need to paint or do the nail art yourself, it’s such a timesaver when I want a nice manicure fast.

These are soak off gel nails that are semicured and then finished with gel glue and uv led nail lamp.

So satisfying— never doubt the nail color again with nail polish swatches. I was so tired of guessing colors and trying to remember which red nail polish is my favorite classic shade of red.

These can be used to sample tester colors for air-dry nail polish or UV LED gel nail polishes.

Nail polish swatch sticks are also handy for showing subtle differences of chrome powder finishes on different nail polish background colors.

The finishing touch to any manicure is a good cuticle oil to keep your hands looking fresh and healthy. I make sure to apply a liberal amount of cuticle oil after each new set of nails and touch up in between until my next new nail set.

A simple way to care for my right now is with a change of gel nail polish. This is a
Gel X manicure done at home. 💅🖤✨ I have linked the jet black gel nail polish. That only takes one coat to provide the coverage that you see here. I have also length the glitter top coat that I have over a couple accent nails.

In dark times, a galaxy themed manicure helps me feel better. 🌌

If you haven’t done gel X, nails, before, they are like a hybrid of acrylic and gel nail polish. The results is a nail that you can apply like a press on, cure with a UV lamp, and it is durable yet flexible. These nails are less damaging than acrylics, they can be soaked off for easy removal.
