Moonstruck in Jersey's Blog

I have written a few blogs about nail polish, who hasn’t?  We all love, love, love!

I wore acrylics for almost two decades and then went back to natural nails.  Very rarely wore color on the natural nails because, in my opinion, there is nothing uglier then chipped nail polish.

When gels came into vogue, the salon where I am a client offered OPI gel polish.  I tried it and liked the idea behind it, but I did not get the “at least two weeks” wear I was expecting.  It was too expensive for me to do more then every two weeks and the removal was not exactly helping my already cracked and dry hands.  Whether I soaked in acetone or wrapped the nails in acetone, the gels still took up to thirty minutes plus to remove.  So, I stopped and went back to natural nails.

I then found a top coat by Revlon that extended my polish life to about five days without chips.  This was perfect for me and much less expensive.

This past Fall, the salon added Gellish to its menu and, of course, I had to try.  It is like wearing nail polish, but better. It goes on in thin coats and looks like regular polish and it does not add ugly thickness to your nails.  It stays super shiny and best of all, I get a full two weeks without any lifting or chipping.  It also comes off in ten minutes with nail wraps which uses minimal acetone.  Colors are on trend with lots to choose.

I really like this product and I am still getting Gellish every two weeks.  Give it a try, but remember whether you use regular polish, acrylics, gels, etc, give your nails a break once in a while and always use lots of oil no matter what you wear on your nails to nourish the nail and cuticles.

Peace
