It's Friday and DH said that he wasn't going to work late so I'llb e able to play with my computer a little bit tonight and will download the picture. I am actually going to put on regular polish tonight and  see if it really works like they advertised.  :D

That's okay, SusieQ - we understand that real life sometimes gets in the way of our online fun.  We can wait.

Recovering nail biter here. Two more nails to grow and then I'll happily do a colored polish. My go to color when my nails were decent was some shade of red
Age is a state of mind.

Bare at the moment, but I've got Chanel Steel lined up for duty.

This is a meter for my life craziness.  I posted that 5 days ago.  No polish has gone on so the filing has started again before I attempt polish.  Maybe tomorrow.

That's when you just buff your nails until they shine and go on with it!

Your nails look beautiful, SusieQ.  Is this the color gel?

Thank you, Coug and Lucy!

Yes, that's the gel color. I was going to paint a regular color over to find if it does what they say it does.  :) But, I mopped the kitchen floor instead and that lead from one chore to another.  Next thing I know, it is dark outside.  I'll it putting on a darker polish tonight. 

I went to the bank on Saturday and the teller knew that I was wearing shellac since she had it on, too. While my local mani wants $40 she is able to get hers for $23.  For $23, I probably would have not have purchased my kit. I told her about my home kit and she wanted to know where I bought it. I am enjoying the home gel kit because the look of the home gel mani still looks the same as it did last Saturday.  My mom is coming to visit this weekend so I'll give her a mani.  :)

So, that is Passion! It's a beautiful color, Susie. It would be great for summer, also. And your nails are such a nice shape.

Is the gel polish removable if you want to change gel colors?

Yes, it think it's going to be lovely for the summer.

Yes, the gel polish can be removed. The kit comes with the removal solution and instructions. The procedure, per instructions, is similar to the method used at my salon...cotton balls and foil strips.  It will take 10 minutes.  I'm going to take it off for the first time this weekend. I'll report back on whether the process is similar to the salon or not.

Looks great Marci!  The length you have is what I want for my nails too.  Actually, I don't really have a choice because they break easily.  But, I think I'm the only woman who doesn't know how to shape her nails properly.

I have finally figured out that the shape of short nails has to echo the shape of your fingertips.  Marci's nails have that square shape because that's how her fingertips are.  At least, I think that is how it works.
