^your nails are so clean..and nice.

there's this tutorial i found..where they teach you to do like this really neat manicure..the nails are called 'gel nails' i think..

its in japanese but..you can pretty much tell what they're doing.. they sell the material on the site.. with this uv nail dryer..i didnt get the exact items..but i tried mimicking the look of it.. which came out okay..but i think i could've done better.. here's the link; http://www.ishi-nail.com/nailartdemo%20-%20gel%20nail.wmv

well i don't know what the lady's saying but these are the nail gel stuff they sell on the site:


- 2 x 0.5oz Transparent Gel
- 1 x 0.5oz White Gel
- 1 x 0.5oz Pink Gel
- 1 x 0.5oz Light Pink Gel
- 1 pcs 0.25oz Primer
- 1 pcs 0.5oz Sealant Gel
- 1 pcs 3.0oz Cleaner
- 1 pcs Gel Brush
- 1 Tutorial Video CD (in Chinese language)

you can search ebay for the nail gel stuff... revlon sells the materials too..its called a UV GEL KIT.

TUTORIALS FROM EBAY SELLER: http://cgi.ebay.com/Full-Set-UV-Gel-Kit-Pr...1QQcmdZViewItem

Instructions:
-Carefully scoop a small amount of gel onto your brush, keeping one side clean by swiping it on the edge of the jar.

-Apply a thin coat of gel over the entire nail plate beginning in the center of the nail and working the gel toward the cuticle. Stroke the gel in much the same manner as a polish application, pulling the brush to the free edge. Seal the free edge by swiping your brush lightly across the leading edge.

-During application, be sure the brush hairs do not 'fan' out. If they do fan out, you are applying too much pressure and not enough gel will be left on the nail plate to allow for shrinkage during cure, and the result will be tiny 'craters' where the gel has pulled away during the curing process. Should this occur, re-apply a thin coating of gel making sure to apply less pressure. Do not over-work the gel as this will result in air bubbles and/or an uneven cure.

-Repeat this process on all five fingers of the hand. Before curing, check your work again to be sure the entire nail plate is evenly covered with a thin layer of gel. Check the cuticle and sidewall lines to be certain that no gel is touching the skin, and if so, remove it with an orangewood stick. Be sure your have left a tiny margin all around the cuticle and sidewall line free of product to allow for proper shrinkage and to prevent repeated and prolonged contact with sensitive skin.

-Place the nails under the UV Light for a full 3 minutes to completely cure the gel. Apply a second coating of gel and cure for 3 minutes.

-Remove the hand from the light and clean the nails with a lint-free nail wipe saturated with the cleanser. This will remove the sticky 'uncured' layer on top of the enhancement, even though the nails will still feel slightly tacky which is normal. Inspect nails for an even surface, and if 'craters' are evident, apply one thin layer of gel and cure.

-Apply gel to the other hand following the previous procedures. Should you find that some gel has touched the sides or the cuticle area, remove with a 240-grit file and then buff until smooth. Finish by applying a sealer and the nail enamel color of your choice. If the client prefers a permanent French Manicure, use a white color gel to the free edge.

..

the nail kit i got was this one: http://www.broadwaynails.com/bwy200501/?pg...s&sg=BGLK01

works just like the acrylic powder they use at the salons.

yeah..the kits really in-expensive on ebay..they sell it around 20-25 bucks..its really just the shipping that makes it so expensive.

and the kit actually lasts a few manicures..maybe 5 manicures..

i'm not sure if many people will buy it though.

me too.. for this semeseter i have a guitar class..and i can't play the guitar with long nails..so just for now..i'll hold out on my own nails..until i'm done..then i'm going crazy..he hehe. the only thing i've been able to do are those small manicure..to keep my nail healthy..

ix3katz: yeah..i notice that.. like for certain items.. sometimes they're 40.00 but then shipping is 50-60 bucks.. so in total it'll be like 100 something..

they fool with the buyers...i still do the search from lowest price first but only within my country..that way.. i can find things around my own location...

~~PuhPuhMuh~: is that the blue fade thingy too!? looks nice!

no, i wore them to school and i swear like every girl notice them even boys, they asked the same thing "where did you get your nails done" I was like their fake and they got amazed hahah. Cause they either thought i got it done at a salon or i did it myself.
