:: Vain Pot ::

I did nails extension! Woohoo... Crazy it may sound, but the effect is so cool. I did gel nails instead of the usual acrylic nails. You must be wondering what is the difference?


What is Gel Nails?

GEL NAILS are an extremely natural-looking enhancement: thin, clear, flexible, non-yellowing, nonporous, resist lifting. Gel nails can be used for natural nail overlays (actually one of the most difficult techniques--but it looks the easiest), tip overlays, and sculpted onto forms for short extensions, and to help encapsulate a damaged free-edge as it grows out.


Benefits of Gel Nails:

1) Odorless

2) Natural Feeling

3) Thin

4) Flexible

5) Crystal Clear

6) Light Weight

7) Natural looking

8) No lifting!


What is Acrylic Nails?

Acrylic nails are a two part system made of a liquid and a powder (a monomer and polymer). When mixed together, they form a thick consistency that can be used to apply tips and colors to natural nails. Gel acrylics are another form of acrylics. It is a one-step system and is applied and worn differently than the traditional. A coat of gel on top of the traditional acrylic does not make nails "gel acrylic."


Well, the whole process took about 2hours and now I've got a set of nice looking nails.
