I purchased some gel polishes yesterday, and did a quickie mani during my lunchbreak today. Here's what I used:   Sephora by OPI Gelshine: Bare to be Different and ProGel by Super Nail: Trophy Cup. I bought the Gelshine from the Sephora in Deptford Mall, NJ and I bought the ProGel at the Ulta in Mays Landing, NJ. After doing all the prep (shaping, buffing, applying the primer and applying the base coat, I cured it with the Sensational LED light I had used on a different mani. Then, I applied the "Bare to be Different" Gelshine. It's a very sheer, natural, bare color. It would be great for a French Mani. Then, I added the "Trophy Cup" glitter/ clear top coat and cured it. Then, back to the clear top coat, cure, and alcohol pads. Done in approximately 15 minutes! There.... in full sun, nice and sparkly!

Here's a "Quicky DIY" I did over the weekend..... I bought a cute pair of Green Onyx pyramids (the color looks a lot like jade) from Gary's Gem Garden  in Cherry Hill, NJ. I also bought two silver (not silvertone) backs. I got the deal for less than $15. I glued the backs on with heavy duty jewelry adhesive.... and they're good to go!

I have been waiting to try out gel nail color, but I didn't feel like throwing down the cash at the local nail salons, so I decided to wait it out for a great DIY option. So... at the local Walmart, waiting for an oil change, I walked over to the HBA section. Lo and behold, I saw this beauty for $49.98: Sensationail Starter Kit Raspberry Wine  Here's the inside: Nailene's description of the kit is: Do you love the look of polish, but find it chips within a day or two?
