Has anyone used at at home gel nail polish kit?
Comments (7)I've tried the Sally Hansen strips and didn't care for them, in fact returned them to Ulta for a refund. I also use the Red Carpet kit and like it but it only lasts me about a week at which point I peel them off. I have my own uv manicure lamp, and haven't used the one which came w/the kit I purchased. In addition I use the CND shellac products. It lasts a wk, maybe a little longer, and requires a little more effort to remove. I'm not sure if it is these products or winter but my nails have become very weak so I'm giving them a break and concentrating on getting them in better condition before using them again.

Comments (12)I JUST started getting gel manicures about six weeks ago. Prior to that I only buffed my own nails, and then occasionally had a manicure and had them buff, or apply clear polish. My nails are extremely soft and peel, and I am particularly rough because I'm a germ nut and don't use gloves so I'm always putting them in hot water and digging in the soil. The only time they grow is when I'm in the hospital or have broken something and can't do much! I was concerned about the filing of the nailbed but have a great manicurist and she is so careful, barely buffs it, and we use a gel color called Bubble Bath (OPI) and it's a pale pink/nude. I can literally do anything I used to do, which before would produce a chipped manicure within hours of getting it, for about ten days to two weeks. The only problem is the way it's baked onto your nail, when your nail bed grows out at the bottom the polish so the layer of polish lifts up and separates and it looks a little strange, different than a regular manicure. But I can get about twelve days out if it, it's only $35 here, plus a tip, and my nails now look nice at all times, with just cuticle oil. I have skipped a time or two between and just gone with buffing, but as noted above, it's great for special occasions and you can get it done a few days ahead of time and still know your nails will look great. They have grown a bit because it has seemed to strengthen my nails....See MorePoison fluoride - anyone know how to filter it out?
Comments (10)LindaKathy, I'd be more impressed with that link if it didn't contain some grammar mistakes and typos. Nodakgal, yes, that's how I learned about this toxic mess they're dumping into our drinking water in the guise of "dental health." Yuck and double yuck. I called a couple bottled water companies and learned that even their products contain small amounts of fluoride. I'd like to buy a filter but am having trouble finding a filter that removes the lion's share of fluoride. Apparently, it's a hard compound to eliminate from the water supply. How I wish the city wouldn't dump that mess into our water supply. It *is* a case of being medicated without our consent. I've removed high fructoce corn syrup from my diet and aspartame and artificial sweeteners and the only thing left to drink is occasional fruit juice and water. BTW, scientists at EPA demand that the bottled water in their offices be fluoride free. What does that tell you? Rose...See Moreanyone use old master gel stain before - looking for a rich brown
Comments (3)Amateur Gel stain on a floor is an extremely poor idea. It’s basically a thin paint, and it doesn’t penetrate the wood. It sits on the surface, with poor adhesion to that surface. Add a protective top coat, and you’ll get even more adhesion issues. Such as walking across your floor and having bits of it peel of down to the bare wood....See Moremorz8 - Washington Coast
