Gel Polish At Home–Everything You Need To Get Started

A few little experiments I conducted…

These are kind of random pictures but very important for the scientific advancement of nail art! 🙂

The first is my own gel nails I’ve had on for a few weeks now. I’ve been wondering for a long time if acrylic nail art would adhere to gel polish.
