$40 for a gel manicure every two to three can get costly pretty quickly! Unless you’re going on vacation or have a super important event coming up, there’s no need to break the wallet. And of course spending money on a regular manicure gets pretty annoying when it only lasts a week, especially with kids! Enough with the rant, here’s an easy, at home shellac manicure (no UV light required) that anyone can do!
Supplies:
- Essie 3 way Glaze
- Sephora by OPI UV Effects Top Coat
- Nail color of your choosing ( I used Essie’s Sand Tropez)
Instructions:
- Give yourself a relaxing manicure! Crank up the tunes, light some incense or candles and clip, file, and buff away!
- To ensure your nails are fully dry, run over each one with a cotton ball dipped in nail polish remover.
- Gently buff your nails, so they are slightly rough (not too rough!). Apply one coat of the 3 way glaze to each nail.
- Apply two coats (or three depending on the shear-ness of the color).
- Apply one coat of the Sephora by OPI UV Effects polish to each nail and let dry.
Voila! You’ve got yourself your very own shellac manicure!
