I’m no professional, but this has always worked great for me 💅🏻 Here are the main products I used to achieve my vacation/birthday many. Whenever I know I’ll be gone from home, or busy, or just want something long lasting, I always aim for a gel and regular nail polish combination. I use gel mostly to protect my nails, and then regular nail polishes for color or designs, since majority of my collection is just regular and not gel. The trick if you are sealing with a gel top coat is to allow the regular nail polish to fully dry (preferably overnight) to prevent shrinkage or disturbance of the regular polish. I don’t get any chippings with this combo, and overall as long as you do a good nail prep, it can last for up to two weeks, or maybe more, depending on how careful you are with shores (I’m personally a mess! 😂) Let me know if there are any other q’s and I’ll do my best to answer them ☺️ . . . #nailpolish #gelpolish #gelpolishapplication #manicure #naildesign #naildesignsideas #opi #opigelpolish #opigelcolor #opigelcolormanicure #opinailpolish #orlygel #orlygelfx #orlygelfxpolish #orlygelpolish #gelextensions #nailstickers #lightslacquer #lightslacquerstickers
