There is nothing better than perfectly painted nails...the one thing that bugs me is when they chip *sad face* most of you have probably tried gels before, I love them for many reasons!
As a beauty therapist I can't really have normal nail polish on as the constant use of oil, water and products it remove it and it doesn't last 5 mins!
Gels are fabulous..
...They stay beautifully shinny and neat
...They last for ages
...They dry straight away so know awkward waving around to dry!
These are my current gels that I had done today by the lovely Rebecca, OPI Gel Colour in Strawberry Margarita!
It took me forever to decide on the colour, this ones quite a summery colour but hey the sun has been out, all be it on and off for the past couple of days, it's my birthday so why not!
I love OPI gels they are my faves they are easy to apply as the therapist, they are long lasting and once removed professionally they leave the nails in a good condition.
I have hear a lot if people slag off gels for ruining their nails. In my opinion as long as they are removed properly they will be ok. They might be a little drier and weaker but once filed down a bit and nourished with some oil I find them ok. Some people have gels 24-7 but I like to have a set every month or so, partly for my nail condition, partly it's getting time at work and partly I like them to be for a special occasion like time off, holidays and birthdays! I tend not to wear polish too much despite my massive collection (I have SO many, more on that another day) as I basicly have to take it off after a day or so for work!

I use Gellux gel nails for family and friends at home as it's cheaper than OPI. There are so many colours to choose from and I really enjoy doing friends nails and having a gossip!
Do you have gels regularly or do you prefer polish?
