Garden on Your Nails





How do you love these girls? I have this big thing about hair and nails. I always love to carry pretty nails on my fingers. Until now... I am not used to have plain nail with nothing on them. I do my nails every week with nail polish. But you do realize right, that polishing your nail all the time will ruin the nail themselves? The nails get yellowish and weak.

If you have the same addiction like me.... don't worry girls! There is this beautiful solution for your nails. Have you heard of Nail Gel? You can find it in nail art stores or a manicure places. Nail Gel is a layer that covers the nail just like nail polish... and it harden the nails. Usually the nail artist will apply the gel many times and you will need x-ray lights to get it dry. As the result, you nail will be much more thicker and very glossy. Nail Gel will strengthen your nails.

You can apply many other things while doing the Nail Gel or after. For example, you could have some glitters together with the Gel or you could put acrylic nail art with Swarovski crystal on top of your Gelled-Nail. When you do only gel with no 3d arts, you can apply as many colors of nail polish you like on top of the gel, because you still can erase it just with acetone. These Gel could stay on your nails for about a month. But my recommendation is that you should go to the nail salon again within 2-3weeks to get the gel refill. So there will be no flat/empty/colorless on the part of the growing nails.

Now you get some more ideas about these nail arts. It is not only pretty but useful for all of us girls, especially when you are working as a clerks or sales person in a department stores where you have to meet a lot of people and you have to use your hand a lot when communicating with them. Having these pretty nails will be a total PLUS.

The first two pictures was done in Jakarta, Indonesia for about Rp. 750.000 / US$75 / 580RMB. With Gel, Swarovski crystal, and specialized acrylic art by a nail artist from Holland. And I did this one for 6 hours. This one until now, remains to be the top on my list!

The last two pictures was done in Guangzhou, China for about Rp. 500.000 / US$50 / 350RMB. With Gel and simple acrylic art. I did this one for 2.5 hours.

So girls, what do you think of this Nail Art? Is it worth the time, the price, and the utility?
Definitely a yes for me!
