Red Carpet Manicure
This system ROCKS!!! I love having my nails painted but despise the time it takes only to have it chip off in the next day or two. I have been on a quest for some time to find something that would last but NOT require a salon visit for Shellac or something. Enter Red Carpet Manicure! This is an at home gel nail polish kit. I saved up some birthday money and waited and waited until I saw this back in stock at drugstore.com and was able to use a coupon code. I bought the professional kit because the portable light uses batteries and it takes longer. I weighed the pros and cons and felt this was the better deal.
Last Wednesday, February 8th, my kit arrived! That night after the kiddos were in bed, I got out the kit and went to work! It is rather simple. I followed the directions and also used some tips and hints I got off of youtube. It took me maybe 30 to 45 minutes to complete this manicure. I took my time and didn’t rush it. Lighting was a huge hindrance until I put on a headlamp! Woohoo! Seeing really is important. Anyway, I completed the manicure and did the final step. I had some color come off which was not expected but as I had read, it usually meant my last cured step wasn’t done right. I looked back at my nails and could see where the “brillance/sealant” was missing. I reapplied, re-cured and it was perfect! Here 1 week later my nails look AWESOME still! Not one chip or scrape – just growth which is to be expected. This system is truly awesome! I can’t wait to buy more colors:)
This is my 1 week photo...amazing! Looks like I just did these nails!
Excuse my non-professional manicure skills but this is a close up to show NO CHIPS!
