Gel Dynasty

Another winner from IBD Just gel. 

For my weekend away, I wore Jade Dynasty - a lovely light green. This is three coats of colour giving almost full coverage. I like this polish slightly transparent as it is a really pretty and subtle green shade. 

I always use gels when I know I'm going to be out all weekend leaving no time for nail care. Is it sad that I think that far ahead? Anyway, gels are great for preventing breakage and gives a good strong barrier. 

These were such a dream to remove as well, so my nails were in such good condition after removal. Ready for some nail art coming shortly! 

Don't forget to enter my giveaway ending February 13th.

Oh Smokey Plum

My first experience of using ibd Just gel at home was a successful one.

Using the instruction pack from the training day to refresh my memory, it was a breeze.

This is using three coats of Smokey Plum - such a gorgeous fall colour. 

I decided to do a plain mani to see if my efforts pay off and see how long it lasts to improve on next time. However, I might add some striping tape in a week or so. (I'll report back if I do)

How amazing is the shine too - I cannot stop looking at it!

This colour is perfect for my week ahead as it is quite neutral and goes with every outfit I have planned. I am off to London to do some work experience and won't have any nail art up for a week but will still be instagramming as always.
