My experience: I always use to have my nails done (acrylic or solar generally) because I got so sick of my nails breaking and the paint chipping... but we all know that does horrible things to your natural nails. When I heard that you could do gelish yourself, I was really excited because the polish is so much stronger than regular polish and doesn't chip!!
So I did... I went on ebay and bought the uv light and the gelish polish and 1 polish (which are $12-15 a bottle, yikes!) but the results are FANTASTIC!! I don't have to worry about my polish chipping, it helps strengthen my nails with a strong base and top coat, and it comes off when I want it to. My favorite part?? With the UV light drying system, when you take your nails out, you're DONE. No waiting on polish to dry and smudging it/scratching it (which I would always do), when you're done you're done!
It is expensive to get started, but really only costs the price of getting your nails done a couple times. I think I paid $30 for the light, $30 for the gelish kit, and $12 for the polish? HOWEVER, I discovered a way to make your own gelish polish and I'll never buy another color!! I'm absolutely loving gelish!!!
I'm wondering how many of you ladies have tried gelish and what you think about it?
