Nail Favorites
My favorite nail polishes & my go-to colors for Gel & Regular polishes! Never have any chipping or peeling with this brand and I usually go 2.5+ weeks before changing.
Obsessed with this Milky White color. It's hard to find a good white color polish and this one is my new go-to favorite.
DND DC Sheer Gel & Air Dry Nail Polish Duo
The best white pink polish! This polish holds up so well. Comes in a pack containing a Gel & Regular polish.
White Bunny #057 - DND Gel Polish
Love this lighter neutral shade. I occasionally layer this on top of the How Do U Neutral for a custom neutral shade!
Vintage Lace #859 - DND Gel Polish
Such a great neutral shade. To change it up I will sometimes layer 2 coats of this on the bottom with a layer or 2 of Vintage Lace on top for a custom neutral shade!
How Do U Neutral? #871 - DND Gel Polish
Red Nail theory anyone? This is a classic. You get the gel & regular polish in a set. Holds up & applies so well.
Ferrari Red #430 - DND Gel Polish
The best base & top gel polishes. It is a no cleanse, so doesn't leave that sticky/tacky coat after curing. Holds up so well, I never have any chipping or peeling with the DND polishes & I go 2.5+ weeks before I change.
