| Perfect Pink Gel Coat $30 |
The only time I ever had gorgeous, glossy, chip free nails, is when I broke down and got a "gel manicure". Oh, how I loved not fretting over spending the time and money on a fresh manicure, only to look like a street urchin, within a day or two.
Sadly, the process wreaked havoc on my nails. After a few months, my once granite hard nails, were as thin and slight as rice paper. It took a year for them to return to normal.
Last week, after 6 months of wearing barely there pinks, like Essie's Sugar Daddy, I thought it would be nice to switch it up and go for a little cuh-lah. They were glorious for a few hours...What I want to know is how they could possible have chipped while I was sleeping.
Really??? Ugggghhh!!!!
I tried to patch them with a coat of sheer and a similar shade that had emulsified into a goopy mess in the 3 years it has resided in my medicine cabinet. Honestly, they looked like awful. I removed all the polish and did the unthinkable and polished them myself with Salma Hayek Blush Peony Nail Lacquer... suffice to say, at least they looked tidy.
Today while doing a Sephora run, I stumbled upon a product in the checkout aisle that I never heard of, Perfect Pink Gel Coat. I wasn't crazy about the price point, 30 bucks seemed steep, but I loved the promise of what it might be able to do for my nails.
