My Gel Nails

Ok i am so excited. I have gone twice to have

my nails done at a salon. I about died on what I had to pay for when I had to teach them how to do the designs. First off let me show you some of my own nails I have painted with REGULAR nail polish. Then I can explain more on what I

mean by me teaching them. The so called professionals.

This is my first try at the TRI-Color method. You put 3 colors onto a makeup sponge and roll them onto your nail. And my 2nd try above. I couldn't get the pics to go in the correct place. And you will notice I forget to do clean ups before I post pics. Sorry.

This one I did not pick the colors to match the pillow. But after painting them my daughter noticed that they did.

I loved this design for Christmas that year.

This was my first try at the dots inside the dots. I was so happy that it turned out so well. Then when the nails started to peal I decided to try saving them. I was a little lazy and didn't want to remove the polish. So below is what I did to save them.

This Picture below is how I started out with the next design. I almost left them like this, but I had other plans.

And yes I forgot to clean up.

After doing mine my sons girlfriend wanted me to do hers. She barely had nails so it was a big Challenge. I think the design I chose did turn out quite well.

Decided to try chevron design. It didn't turn out as well as I would have liked.

Next I wanted to create a summery look. I loved this one.

NOW for the Salons design. I showed her the first 2 pics to put on my nails. They are almost identical designs. They said that won't show up on my orange nails. I asked her to try please.

They said they can do designs.

This is what they did with a lot of help from me. Looks nice but not what I wanted.

Next was this design. This was a mess. Had to redo a couple nails. I chose the best hand for the pic.

THe other hand the snow flake was a big blob almost. THe swirl was almost the same. The guy had no idea how to do any of this. I had to show him which tool to use and he said that is to small. He used a bigger one on the other hand. On this hand for snowflake and dots he used what I asked him to use. The swirl he still didn't get right. I helped so much on this I felt like I should of gotten a discount. The lady doing my daughter said he was in a hurry to leave for home. That is not right.

Now for my First Attempt at Gel Nails. I learned you can't clean up after using the light. lol. It dries hard EVERY WHERE. My Thumb I was just playing around swiping the colors together.
