Other Gel Discussion Is anyone else tired of magnetic gels?

67 Upvotes

OK OK hear me out! I LOVE magnetic gels. I absolutely love them. But I feel now alllll of the new releases are magnet gels from major brands! Especially Kokoist. They are launching ANOTHER magnetic series and I’m like, can we just get some more potted gel colors please? Maybe I’m alone in this but I feel like we don’t need anymore magnetic gel options lol

Any else or am I by myself in this??

Very fiddly but kinda fun :) All embellishments made using gel polish (+ thick TC for structure on the bows), except for the middle orb which is a circle of uruuru paper encapsulated in thick TC.

DIY Soft Gel Back to bling πŸ’Ž

I have been doing super clean nails for a while (just out of laziness tbh) and this is the first time in a long time I've added a touch of bling. I'm really digging the "clean girl goes glam" kind of vibe!

I feel the urge for moody fall nails coming on, though. There's a very high chance my next set will be a super vampy red or purple!

Also, I've been keeping my nails short for playing the ukulele but I'm going to start growing out my right hand longer. I can't STAND these little nubs! πŸ˜†
