Nails are off!

I have a part time job at a hotel and I work the breakfast shift. My nails startet to come off on some fingers, and I got scared that I would tear off my real nails at work, so I did my best to remove them on monday night.

I didn't ruin my natural nails, but I have a lot of remains from the gel on my nails.. look terrible!! (I didn't take a picture ;-)) Veeeery soon I'll post a new design, I just need time to dry my mani before I go out in the world.. Cause my latest looks like s**t :-p 

Patience, Kristine.... Patience!

My computer is still at the doctors... But I will try to post a design tonight :-)

Gaaaah!!

I'm getting really annoyed with these gel nails...

The polish takes aaaaages to dry.. And yesterday I waited more than an hour before going to bed. And this morning my nails are a complete mess!!!

Grrrr! I can't wait to try the other DIY gel nail thing. (this time with a UV light, so I have hopes for this one..)


I want nails like this:

Update on the gel nails

Yup, the gel dissolves when I remove my nail polish.. And that makes applying new polish a nightmare, because first I have to "Re-gel" my nails... Hmpf..

But I guess that is the risk you take when trying a cheap set :-)

I'm planning to try out another set. Almost 10 times the price and hopefully more efficient...!!

Until then I am sticking with my current manicure... (Boooring) Or I might try to file away the color and change it...

DIY gel nails

Yes, I decided to try out DIY gel nails from "broadway".

It was a really cheap set (at least cheap here in Norway..) about 20$, so I hope I'm not destroying my nails now...

It is a gel kit that doesn't need UV light and it came with really short tips (perfekt for me!)

I put it on wihtout too much hassel. Here is a picture of the tips without gel.

Then I added two coats of gel with activator inbetween.

And then some color. (And of course after that I realized they needed a LOT of filing...)

The nails are still on my fingers today, but the gel went missing when I removed the polish...

So tonight I will try to apply gel again, and let it dry until tomorrow :-)
