THIS is what my nails looked like AFTER vacation. Keep in mind, I had broken off both thumbs ( of my world cup mani) before leaving, never fixed them before leaving...didn't do a fill either. It was bananas here with the pre-packing saga.
how do you like that painful break in the ring finger? YIIIIKES!
the pther hand is equally jacked! (I'm a picker- so I added to the trouble with my pinky)
I decided to rip them off and start all over- no extensions. I put fresh gel over them and formed out a couple of the nail tips. But generally speking, I wanted to keep them short because we will be doing alot of moving stuff aroung during the construction that is about to happen in the house.
I use Young Nail gel products. I do not use the soak off formulas anymore. I do them myself. On occasion, when I am out of time or motivationi'll cheat and have them done. That's what happened before the trip. I had acrylic put on....eeeewwww. It yellowed and the tips lifted. Just a mess. That is why I ripped them off and started fresh. I think the gel has a cleaner look. I used to do acrylic, and forgot how they wear. There really is a difference (on my nails) with how they feel and wear.
So there you are, I have a new pallet for painting (even though they are short!)

I'm interested in hearing more about the gel. what does it do? does it strengthen and repair nails?
because at the moment I am trying to prevent my nails from chipping by using vaseline. After having acrylics on my nails too.

I also would like for you to explain how you use the young nail gel. Like how you do it and what exactly you use they look so nice :) My nails are also tiny and I would like just a little bit more length on my nails, it would make using my Konad stamps easier too. :)
I'd love to know about the gel too. I've tried the gel kit from Wal-Mart, not too happy with it.
