Who doesn't LOVE a nice set of polished nails that doesn't immediately chip off the next day? Chipped finger nail polish has always driven me nuts! I loved going to the nail salon and getting shellac or gel nail polish because it always lasted so long. Eventually I couldn't keep spending 20-30 dollars every 2 weeks to keep up on it. That's when I heard about the Red Carpet LED Gel nail polish. A coworker told me about it so I decided to do some research and check it out. I ended up getting the starter kit which came with your LED light, prep coat, base coat, one color, top coat, purifier, remover, and cuticle oil.
Here is what I got...

I purchased mine at Ulta Beauty and used a 20% off coupon so it wasn't a bad deal at all!! I LOVE it and its become an addiction! It lasts up to 3 weeks on my fingers and longer on my toes! At Ulta one color is $10 and then I'll use a coupon. Either $3.50 off or 20% off, whichever I can find.
Recently I was asked to try the shellac on the press on falsie nails. This was to add a little length and shape without full on acrylic. I purchased a 50 pack of nails with glue off of Amazon. They were a round tip so we could try a subtle stiletto shape. I paid $7.
So, I did them just like you would a normal nail. Filed real nailed, glued on falsies, filed and shaped tips, and filed the top to rough it up for polish to stick. The shellac actually looks AMAZING on the falsies. Perfectly even and shinny!
I love the pointy shape, but personally wasn't used to the length so I trimmed them down. I am really liking them! They add some length and strength. Get an expensive manicure look for much less! We sure love it over here!
Until next time!
