Gelish colour code 1350

Now this - I LOVE!

This was my first Gelish experience, and I was NOT disappointed. I was looking for a decent dark colour that wasn't too watery. My Gellux black is disappointing at times. My O.P.I. just the same. And for the price I would expect more from the market leaders in gel polish.

So, I tried a deep navy colour in Gelish which was colour code 1350. It is so dark it is as damn near black as you can get without it actually being black. I used two coats. On the first you can tell it is navy, but by the second one it was really deep.

As you can see - it gave a beautiful finish as was super shiny.

Again, being a stamping fanatic, I used Sally Hanson Chrome Green Colour Quick on the Konad stamping plate m63.

I think you'll agree - the results are fab. This is one of my favourite!

Here's the plate

Gelish Black Cherry Berry

I was so impressed with my dark Navy Gelish, I decided to get a red for my ever growing collection.

Here I used Gelish Black Cherry Berry with Konad White. The stamping plate was BundleMonster 'BM406'.

Today, mum was my guinnea pig. As she is of a certain age (just turned 60, but I'm not mentioning it on my blog, wink, wink) I wanted to see how stamping would suit an older client.

Once again, I was really pleased with the results, as was she. It lasted weeks and had no chips. It was only coming off where it was growing out and catching on her hair when she washed it.

Nail Art - Xmas

Feeling all festive last Christmas I decided to kidnap mum's hands for an hour and had a little play.

The red is Gelish 'My forbidden love', black is Gellux, as is the white and the brown is Gellux 'You Don't Know Jaques', the lighter brown for antlers is O.P.I. 'Did You Ear Van Gough'.

Dead easy to do, paint all the fingers red and the thumb brown and cure in lamp. Add second coat and cure if needed - I did. Then add the white lines for the coat fluff on the middle finger, add nose eyes and antlers on thumb, cure again. Add belt and buttons to middle finger, pupils to eyes on thumb, cure again in lamp. Add the silver square for belt buckle, finish with curing a top coat on and hey presto. Awesome, cute little festive fingers!

Gelish 'A Petal For Your Thoughts' and Gellux 'Silver Crystal'

I am SO impressed with the Gelish range so far - and it comes off ridiculously easy, but lasts on the nails really well. I can't fault it. Even the darker Blue, almost Black colour comes off with ease. This colour - 'A Petal For Your Thoughts' literally came off in bit slices after soaking in acetone.

This client had these nails on when her fiancé proposed to her - she had an inkling, so wanted a really lovely colour to stand out. You may say, we NAILED it ;)
