I do my own gel nails!

#unflitered #lemon8challenge

I love to steal inspiration from lemon 8 to try and recreate!

I can post more pics of my other nails if anyone wants!

2024/3/26 Edited to

Creating your own gel nails can be a rewarding experience, providing both creativity and satisfaction. To start, gather your essential supplies: a high-quality UV lamp like SUNUV, a sturdy electric file for shaping, and a selection of gels that reflect your style. Don't forget to spend time perfecting your base and top coats for a lasting finish. For nail art aficionados, tools like a dotting tool can help you add tiny details and intricate designs. Experiment with colors to express your personality. Techniques such as using oil for cuticle care and fine lines can elevate your nail game. With the right tools and inspiration from the Lemon8 community, you can achieve salon-quality results at home!

I love that! Going somewhere to have them done is so expensive even for something simple. Also you do beautiful work!
