    Default DIY Gel nails?

    I did a search on gel nail polish, the soak off polish, not the acrylic-like tips and I found these two threads

    They're kind of old though, so I thought I'd resurrect the discussion. Does anybody do their own gel nails at home? I got it done in a salon a few times now and I love the results but I just can't afford to spend 60$ on my fingertips every other week.

    I've read up on it and it seems like something that one could do with a bit of practice. Does anyone have any experience with it?

    YES! YES!
    I posted about my plans to DIY here - http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...7&postcount=16 and ended up buying the dryer I listed a few weeks after http://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Spa-49...2741850&sr=8-1 (at $90! lol now it is $54, fucking Amazon). Ive only been using CND so far

    What I find is I have to leave it under the dryer way longer than at the salon - 2-4 mins in salons seems to be about 5-7mins for me, I may be using layering it on too thick. Also I found that I have to use a separate very slim brush and keep it steeped in pure acetone between uses or it dries up and cant work well. If you have shaky hands just be sure to wipe it off before shoving your hands back in.

    I havent perfected it since it only lasts about 2 weeks for me instead of 3 I get from salons but definitely recommended!

    I bought a complete kit off ebay for like $75 and then a bunch of nail art accessories. Its pretty easy, especially if you've gotten them done at the salon several times & you remember how to the process goes. I like doing my own because it saves money, is convenient, and I can do them to my liking. I just hate taking time out of my day to get my nails done. And I'd much rather put that $$$ toward a massage or a facial.

    I just saw a kit you can buy at Ulta- all the polishes you need, a bunch of colors, and the light, but not sure how the quality is on any of it. I'll post a link if I find it... internet's hella slow today.

    Bought a DIY kit - nailene I think - and it was terrible. I know a bad workman blames his tools, and sure, I was a bad workman - but not THAT bad!

    I have heard good things about the full kits you can but at Sally's for beauty students though! Some of my friends have those and their nails look great.

    Thanks ladies! I bit the bullet and bought a kit and the lamp Roast linked to. We'll see how it goes. I'm willing to believe I'll be absolute shit at it at first but 2 week long polish seems so worth it to me!
