Pretty Gel French Nails

About a month ago, I did my first ever gel nails in Malaysia and it lasted quite awhile.
For those who know me, my nails are super fragile and polishes will not last me more than 3 days.
It's like super cheap, prolly RM55 for a 2 tone gel.

It was really shiny and pretty in real life and I love it!
But then, here comes the removal. I hate it ):
Well, every good stuff has its downside, yea?

4 steps to remove gel polishes.

1) Meticulously file off the top gel.
2) Wrap each nail with a small piece of cotton soaked in polish remover covered with a small piece of aluminum foil for 10-15 minutes.
3) Use the cuticle pusher to scrape over your nails.
4) File off the gel... AGAIN!
**Even after you did the 4th step, the gels

Even though gel polish is like clean and neat most importanly INSTANT dry!!
But I've got to admit it's really unhealthy for the nails. I did 2 times straight and my nails now are super duper dry ): So after CNY I'm taking a break from gel AND normal polishes.

As you can see that it is much thicker than my original nail. So uncomfortable having one hard stuff stuck onto my nail!!!

Lastly, a nail dryer spray to end the session!
