So I found out a few weeks ago that www.nailpolishcanada.com has finally started stocking soak off gels! So I just had to place an order:
I also ordered a couple of Nubars but the 2 Gelish I ordered are Caution and Night Reflection. Nailpolishcanada.com has a decent selection too although they didn't carry the two colours I really want badly. The full size Gelish is $22 for 15ml. Compared to the $18.95 for the 9ml bottle at Sallys this is a better deal. Their Shellac is $24.50 which I find pricy since they are also half the size. Shipping was free over $29 and it took exactly one week to arrive. This was my first order with them and I have no complaints.
So the first colour I chose was Gelish Night Reflection in 3 coats. I love this colour. I decided to do a test run on embedding stickers into the gel polish. After the 3 coats of Night Reflection I wiped lightly with alcohol and then applied my nail stickers. I tried without wiping the inhibition layers first and the stickers would not stick properly, so the inhibition layer needs to be removed for this. I then added a coat of Gelish Structure (a clear builder gel) for smoothness and then finally added my top coat. Since this was a trial I obviously had a few errors but I'm confident enough I can get it perfect next time. This photo is actually on day 6 of the manicure so you can see those stickers aren't coming off anytime soon. Since I didn't get it as smooth as I would have liked I won't be painting over it though.
Later
