DIY Nails @ Home

I've been doing my own Gel X nails for a few months now. I am getting better and better. My only issue is time. I am such a perfectionist that they do take me a few hours🤷‍♀️ Everything I used came from Amazon and a local nail supply store here in my city. I use MelodySusie, Modelones Gels, Beetles Gels, Beetles Tipex Gel Extensions, and Unagella Gel Extensions. So far, I have been able to get about 3 weeks of retention with proper nail prep. I hate to see the growth, so I do my nails about every 2 and half weeks.

If there is one thing I can recommend when it comes to cuticle work, it’ll be to invest in an exfoliating nail bit!!! For all my diy nails at home girls, this is a true game changer! Before I had this bit, I would always get hangnails 2-3 days after doing my nails… Now that I’ve found this bi
