That's a sweet summer color, jcent! Your cuticles look great --- mine have never been so lovely. Since getting and using the wee cuticle nippers, mine have been be-e-e-e-eautiful!

Thank you! I love hot pink in summer. I just push mine back, gently, in the shower everyday, I have never cut them, 'cept the odd hang nail.

Oh, I also gently push the cuticles back (fingers and toes) and use Avoplex on them, but they have really benefited from additional "work" on 'em.

Here is my very first "homemade" Gelish: Sleek White and Simple Sheer. Thought I'd show my right hand, 'cause I'm righthanded. They aren't perfect, but I'm delighted with how the colors turned out. Doing a smile line is much easier with Gelish than regular polish! I'm officially hooked!

ETA: My gratuitous sparklie shot, LOL! --- diamonds look quite warm due to reflection from my top.

2 coats of Gelish Bashful, 1 coats of Tumberline Violet

I just started painting my nails (still not that great at it) and have put a lot of money into my OPI polishes. I didn't know this stuff existed! Do you need to be more then a beginner to use this stuff?

Gelish Bashful is my favorite! It looks great with the Tumberline Violet on top, I will have to try that some time

Wow, looks awesome Cricketgrrl and yes, your diamonds look beautiful too!

Oh, jcent, that looks great! I had to stop myself from ordering about ten more than I did. LOL!

maliasmom, thanks! I've been examining my work and have decided it's as good as either of the crazy techies did! Honestly! I'm soooo delighted with Gelish. Well, the wee smile lines aren't quite perfect but the rest of the application is much better than the tech's did. I guess not being in a huge hurry makes a difference... The only thing better than staring endlessly at sparklies, is staring endlessly at them on a lovely manicured, Gelish-ed hand. LOL!

2ndLOVE, I've never used UV polishes before and only in summer was I doing my nails (fingers and toes). If you're good at applying regular nail polish, this will be easy-peasy for you!

I love this!! It look like a birthday party on your fingers!!
