My friend and client Jessica went to Las Vegas last weekend and needed some fun nails to accompany her! I love the results…and I thought it was fitting they were inspired by the awesome nail salon Polished Nails Las Vegas.

Here are the nails that we came up with–we used gel polish from Gelish and OPI. I hand painted the stripes and dots and used a metallic silver Sharpie as well for accent. I used silver studs on the pinkie and index fingers …
SunValleyTek sent me this UV light to try out and review and I can honestly report for the money it’s a great light and I would highly recommend it! They shipped it extremely quickly, Flynn was very nice to work with, and the light is actually really great quality! I’ve bought two other lights on Amazon in the past that were cheaply made and did not hold up but I can tell this light is going to hold up great. And it’s priced under $40 on Amazon!

Summer Nails with I’m Brighter Than You, Chevron, and Feathers
The new Gelish Neon Collection is PERFECT for summer! I was skeptical when I saw they were releasing another neon collection because they did the Rio Collection about two years ago and I didn’t think there was a need for more neon colors. However, there was! These neons are more like China Glazes neon …

I love how they turned out! I do a light pink acrylic sculpt with Kendra because she is a nail biter (I was once a biter too!) and then I finish the design with gel polish. Kendra wanted coral and turquoise nails to match her bikinis she is taking with her to Cancun, …
Gelish vs Shellac vs GelColor
You can read Part 1 of this article here. I wrote it a little over 2 years ago. Man time flies! It’s been my most popular article and I’ve had readers from all over the world ask me questions about gel polish. I figured I should probably update it because A LOT has happened in two years! Just so you know, I’m a professionally licensed nail tech. I’ve been doing soak off gel polish for a little over two years now. I had a full clientele …
Here’s a pic of Wendy’s beautiful nails with two coats of Gelish Midnight Caller and one coat if Waterfield, a pretty silver sparkle. I love this combination!
Here are some pics from today!
They are all done with soak off gel polish—my preferred medium when working with nail art. It’s very forgiving! I used gel polish to do the heart and the roses. You just kind of blot a dark color on first, then add a darker color as highlights for the petals. Very easy! The pink is Pink Flamenco by OPI and the white is Alpine Snow…my favorite white for gel polish because it doesn’t wrinkle. I am loving the floral nail art trend. Kaitlin Ferland on …
