I’ve been doing my own gel for a few years now ✨ here is what I learned.

There are a few reasons why your DIY gel manicure isn’t lasting as long as the salons.

First, know that there is a learning curve and like anything it takes a little practice to get it right. From experience here are a few reasons why your mani didn’t last.

1. You didn’t prep your nails correctly. Gel base adheres best when the nails are completely dry and have a little roughness to them. Gently file your nails so the base has something to grip to, and don’t wash your hands or apply lotion prior to applying gel polish.

2. Your polish coats were too thick. Gel mani works best if you apply very thin layers of polish instead of one thick coat. If your polish lifts right up chances are your application is to blame.

3. Your top coat seeped through to your cuticles or skin. If you cured your top coat and it touched skin your gel mani won’t set properly. Instead make sure to wipe around the nail bed to ensure there is no residue before curing.

The convenience and time is so worth it, keep at it and you’ll have manicures that last ✨

I cannot get enough of this knit, so effortless chic and pairs so well with denim 🤍 the @birdies ballet flats are also so in this season and these are cushioned and comfortable especially great for work.

If you’d like a pair use code BESOSALINA_Birdies for 10% off.

Lastly if you’re petite (i’m 5’2) the @abercrombie petite jeans are the perfect length and the only denim I don’t have to cut✨

Wore this one to lunch last week and it’s an easy way to dress up from the usual tank and jeans combo, comfy and cute and added a little kitten heel for now and will switch to boots later in the season.
How are you feeling about denim skirts? I wasn’t sold at first but glad I added it to my fall capsule ✨
