I had to stop using gel products on my nails and jumped onto the dip nail scene. I am using regular nail polish.
I saw some videos on how to make your own decals by painting onto plastic baggies. For me I would say it would have probably been just as fast to do it by hand directly onto my nail, but, if someone absolutely couldn’t do anything with their non-dominant hand, def recommend. I imagine it also helped prevent smudging accidents!
I did use some gel white for the star sparkle decals, but onto some clear polish base with a clear polish top coat so that it wouldn’t touch me at all.
I am just getting into using regular polish after many years. So I have no stash anymore. I didn’t remember how strong polish smelled after using gel products for a while. Whew.
Brands used;
Dip products:
Virgo and gem (liquids and dip powder),
Sparkle and co (ph prep)
Polish products:
Essie (base and top coat),
Eternal (rainbow colors)
Gel:
Beetles (white)
This was totally an experiment for myself, but if you have any questions, I’ll try to answer to the best of my ability!
