Rate my new mani šŸ’… Builder Gel Nail Fill

Builder gel nail fill and an easy holiday nail art tutorial šŸ’… I definitely waited too long for this gel manicure fill šŸ˜… and I’m not sure why this nail cracked so badly.

I fixed these broken nails, refreshed the builder gel, and ended up with a cute red, white, and blue nail art design that would be perfect for Memorial Day nails or 4th of July nails šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸŒŸ

This set has a milky white builder gel base with simple plaid, polka dots, and stars. Full 1-minute gel nail fill process: filing, builder gel application, shaping, and easy DIY nail art.

Would you wear this manicure for the holiday?
