... Read moreGel nails have surged in popularity over recent years due to their durability and vibrant finishes. With gel polish, you can achieve a long-lasting shine that resists chips, making it perfect for anyone who leads a busy lifestyle. To start, ensure your nails are clean and filed. Apply a base coat followed by a thin layer of gel polish, curing each layer under a UV or LED lamp for the recommended time. Experimenting with various colors and designs is where the real fun begins! From ombre effects to intricate nail art using tools and brushes, the possibilities are endless. Join communities and follow hashtags like #gelxnails and #beetlegelnails to inspire your next design! With the right techniques, you can showcase a unique nail style that turns heads and expresses your personality.

So this is part 2 of my gel X nails journey 😅
Overall, I’m so happy with my work, but the only struggle I had was to make this 3D art — I spent so much time doing it, and in the end, the top coat ruined the whole thing 🤦🏻‍♀️ In conclusion, I’ll continue doing it and see how long will it last… or how long did I last for all this 😆 #gelxn
