No white Christmas for NC... so I decided to celebrate a little blue winter magic on my nails. Two different @modelones_official color changing gel polishes make this mani so unique and fun! Very deep blue when cold and super soft and pale when warm. I have an ombre type effect since my natural nails have gotten so long. Thermogels are my favorite because it's like 2 manicures in one! I started with a milky white builder gel overlay and followed with my thermogels and some decals. Simple and pretty mani that I know my friend, @ladyvee527 would have appreciated. #WearBlueForVee #DIYManicureWeekend #modelonesandme https://www.instagram.com/p/CmaJdewuFap/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In November 2019... I decided to try gel manicures at home. I loved the longevity of gel since regular polish always chips after a few days for me. So, I bought a lamp and my first gel kit and started practicing. It definitely required practice! But I've gotten much better and will continue to do my own nails as I have for the last 3 years. Over 35 orders from Amazon, including a handful from the direct site, have created quite a collection for me to practice. It's a relaxing way for me to express my creativity on the tips of my fingers! Solid cream gels are my current favorite product, and I love the latest palettes! I'm so glad I ventured out and tried something new. The first mami picture is my first attempt and the last picture is my current mani. The other pictures are some of my favorite manicures in between. #modelonesandme https://www.instagram.com/p/ClsLDGAOBrr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
