  • I decided it would be a great idea to attempt nail art with gel polish for the first time ever. I was inspired by the nail art where every nail is a different emjoi or cute pattern. I bought a sketchy UV/LED light, a ton of colours from Bio Seaweed Gel, and nail brushes, and jumped right in.

    The flashlight is cool and mobile. You can fix a nail on the go or on a trip. For time it’s worth getting an LED/UV lamp. “Wish” has lamps and I’ve used them. Not expensive. Amazon isn’t that bad for lamps.

      @fuurikuu 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can do it regular nail polish, it just doesn't last was long as gel. Also, in my experience if you're slower at nail art gel nail polish doesn't dry/cure until you put it under the lamp so you have longer work time (also easier to wipe if you mess up).
