Make beautiful nails with gel effect yourself

I have discovered something great for me that I absolutely want to share with you! Namely how to make beautiful nails with Geleffekt itself. Sometimes I like to paint my nails, especially now in winter when I do not have gardening.

I would not like to have gel nails: after a first attempt on offer, they were ready for refilling after 2 weeks, pulling out up to 3 weeks looks unkempt, so I let everything go away again. And after that short time, the nails were so fragile that it took them four (!) Months to get back to what they used to do (never had any problems) after regrowing the worked surface. I'm 20 euros every 3 weeks also too expensive, I thought every 4 weeks would be enough.

So I looked for an alternative and found something. Rossmann's Essence articles feature the "xxxl volume gel-look - plumping top coat" for just under 2 euros, which has a wide brush, is pulled over after varnishing, is visibly tough and viscous, almost like the gel and makes the nails shine so much, and this varnish lasts for days, great!


For essence, this 50 ml spray can also be dried, also just under 2 euros with Roooose fragrance or, also recommended, the essence nail art express dry drops. Is something like oil, which comes from a pipette. One drop per nail is enough.

I've been wearing this combo for 6 days now and it's all still intact, I'm thrilled! It is important, at the end of painting in the last Schwupp the brush necessarily pull over the nail edge, down towards the fingertip, so that the protective layer also passes over the edge. Then nothing crumbles so fast. In some works, I now use rubber gloves.

Oh, that looks sooooo beautiful! If it lasts for 10 days, I'll do it again and let the nail recover. They have to stay strong, that's what matters most to me! Thus, I come to 6 euros for mentioned 3 products and use my old nail polishes for under it.

Do you want to try that too?

PS: I have posted a photo for the first time! The tablet just did not work, was on Sohni's computer. I've made a lot of effort! :)) And exchanged the broken camera for a new, finally.
