GEL nail polish
There was a thread on here a while ago about gel nail polish. I hate doing my nails and am looking to invest in a kit with a light. I found a kit at Walmart but it was $50.00…..I saw some people had reviews and where they got their kits with prices. Thanks!

I know Sally's carries Gelish and I think one other brand. Aerial Amy, Nymphadora and Veruca Blue routinely get gels but they do it at a salon. Might be worth biting the bullet to get a salon one done first to see how well it works for you.

I get Shellac by CND applied at a salon. It has been extremely durable and wearable product for me, I get it done every 14 days (due to grow out). Its a base coat, color and top coat that is cured under a UV light. I do not get any chips in the color, love it!

Chem I knew you would come through with some info! But you see I am rather "cheap" and would have a hard time paying to have them done at a salon. I a do-it-yourself type of girl…

The product like the one you saw at Wal Mart are a DIY version on the Salon UV curing products. Give it a try and see if it works for you… doesn't hurt to try and you could find something totally amazing.
I was tempted to try it.

I was thinking, we just bought a black light/ LED to cure a crack in our windshield. Light cost about $7.00. I am wondering if THAT light would work? Or I thought someone said they found a kit for $20.00 which I would consider buying. I will figure something out and let you know…..

I am the same when it comes to cheap. Sally's carries the gellish nail color, it is about $14 a bottle. Might be worth buying a ottle and seeing if teh UV light cures it. Says 2 minutes under UV light.

ok i need a kit i get SO tired of my polish chipping the very next day, very annoying, and i cant see paying for fake nails and the upkeep is too much maintenance for me!

Did some browsing online at Sally's… I might stop by and pick up a Gellish kit. I don't like going to the salon and having appointments. It would be great if I could do this at home and save money too. I love this forum, so much great information is available. Thanks for sharing ladies!

I love love love Sally's. Their Sally card is like $5 a year and gets you a discount on all products. On the price tag there will be the regular price and then above it is usually the club price. Discounts are from fifty cents to a few dollars. Plus they give you a discount coupon for $5 off your next purchase so you pretty much get the card cost back.

Before you buy the kit, let me get back with you on buying your own bulb…..going to the store to buy stuff in a min.

WOW…there is a LOT on ebay. I mean a freaking TON!!!

Like all the lights and stuff? Im too impatient. When I want something, I want it now. Going to be sport'n some new nails tonight…..whether they work or not is a different story. Ebay will be my second stop if my home job doesn't work.

Thanks Kobajo! Have you ever just tried the color without the base and top coats?
