As most of my friends know, I am obsessed with nail polish. In fact, so obsessed that my collection of 100 was in need of a nice storage space, and not the floor where they were all hanging out. It was really hard to choose a colour, see what ones I should probably toss. So, my dad made me an awesome display case for them. From this new case, I was able to toss some of my super old colours and display all of my awesome ones. Really, it’s quite something to see any collection come together so nicely.
Anyway, this really wasn’t what I was writing about. I wanted to let everyone know about the most amazing find recently. It’s new and it’s essentially shellac for nails but it’s removable with regular polish remover which is even more amazing. It doesn’t last 14 days but it really does help with chipping. It’s made by Deborah Lippmann and it’s called Gel Lab. Essentially it was designed to make your manicure last as long as gel nails but for normal people, we have the everyday task of doing dishes, brushing off our cars in the snow, not moisturizing as often as we should and typing a million emails (at least these all apply to me). But this really does help with my manicure. Instead of it chipping literally an hour later (like for real), it lasts me about 4 days which is insane. Then, with regular polish remover (I love Joe Fresh – and it’s only $4) my nails are ready for another application and another colour.
It’s a base coat and a top coat and that’s it – simple and easy. And thanks to my super awesome boyfriend, a great valentines day gift!
Give it a try – it’s worth the $$!
