I have been doing my own nails for about 7 years now. I was so tired of wasting money at the nail salon just to have pretty nails for a week.

My sister in law got me started with doing my own gel, she is a licensed beautician and she had purchased a UV light (this was seven years ago.) Since we lived together at the time, she gave me full access to her nail products and I’ve never been back to a nail salon since.

I now have an LED light and I do my nails once a week, sometimes I go longer depending on how motivated I am. This does take practice, even if you’ve painted your nails with regular polish before, this is a whole new skill.

I’ve been using ASP from Sally’s mostly and I typically stick to white or grey. I am on the hunt for a new brand though, any suggestions?
