Valentine's Gel Mani


Hi Monkeys, Happy Valentine's Day and... TGIF! I have my current mani for you today. I used IBD Whipped Cream for the white gel (love this and opaque in 2 coats with no spotting), and for the black I used Black Lava (this one is tricky, 3 thin coats is much better). I then used some cute kissy lip stamps and a hot pink from the NOPI Carrie Underwood collection to stamp. For my thumb and ring fingers, I tried something new- foil over the gel. I did a heart design with the glue adhesive, let it dry, then put the foil on and top coated it. I really like how shiny foils are and with gel over it, they stay for a long time. If this lasts for a week, then it's all worth the time and effort to take it off :)
