DIY nail girlies 🫶✨💅

For those who want a cheaper alternative and are diy queens. Here’s what you need to start doing your own sets:

-All supplies from Amazon and Temu. All very affordable and saves money instead of getting a full set or fill every 2-3 weeks.

- I’d suggest watching a few tutorials to practice and safely use the nail drill.

- Remember to properly prep your natural nails by buffing away shine and apply a nail dehydrator, primer and base coat for retention/long lasting nails. The nail prep is key 🔑✨

- Always use a slip solution for the polygel which usually comes with the set for easy application.

- Keep rubbing alcohol close by to clean up any paint in unwanted areas before curing under UV light.

- UV light/lamp should be strong (mine is 288W) in order for gel to cure fast and properly.

Also make sure you put your hand all the way inside the lamp so that there is no bubbling or wet areas.

Any other tips 💡please leave in the comments 😊
