Nailed It ✿ At Home Gel-X Nails 💅

Purple Star emoji 11 items
These are the gel-x products I use in order to do my nails at home. This saves me SO MUCH money in the long run. I’m no longer spending $100+ every three weeks to get my nails done. I’ve been doing my own gel-x nails now for about 3 years.

Beetles gel polish is the only nail brand I currently use when it comes to nail polish. I’ve tried others and they usually come out too sheer and require several coats or they come out too chunky.

I love this hot pink. It’s bright and in your face. The perfect hot pink for summer time or as an every day color.

I use this color as my base for any French nail or nail with a design. It looks like a natural nail color. Even if my nails are grown out a bit, they still look good.

I do NOT use nail glue to put on my nails. I think this has made a huge difference. At first I was using nail glue and my nails would only stay on for 1-2 weeks. I started using base gel as the “glue” and now my nails last upwards of 4 weeks.

This brand offers the best nails! They are already pre-buffed so it takes off an added step unlike other nail kits. These nails usually last me 3-4 weeks before I eventually have to take them off once they grow out.

I use this mini lamp to help secure my nails when I first put them on. The larger lamp makes it a bit difficult to ensure your nails are fully on. I use the mini lamp each and every time I do my nails.
