Gel nails

I did these myself. My right thumb nail broke so it short. I decided to paint it a different color just for fun. I think it is cool. 💌 Brand: beetles gel polish, modelones gel polish. I don’t recommend beetles gel polish. I like modelones gel polish.

2025/3/2 Edited to

Gel nails have gained popularity for their durability and stylish finish. If you're considering a DIY approach, it's essential to choose the right products. While beetles gel polish is widely used, many users, including professionals, have found modelones gel polish to provide better results in terms of ease of application and longevity. Tips for achieving a professional look at home include proper nail preparation, including buffing and filing, as well as applying thin layers of polish to prevent bubbling. In addition, using a quality UV lamp for curing can make a significant difference in the final appearance. If you're dealing with nail breaks, experimenting with different colors and designs can turn a mishap into an opportunity for creativity. Ensuring a well-lit workspace and having all your materials ready can greatly improve your DIY gel nail experience. Remember to take your time and enjoy the artistic process, whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills!

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
