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
