You are single handedly forcing me to try new things

Here I am thinking solid builder gel nails were fast. Then I saw you do the overlay method. Girl!? Thank you. I just completed my full set. I love them.❤❤❤

I love this set, and I'm definitely making my own secret removal oil, lol. It's such a good idea to mix it with acetone. 💜

I love doing overlays on my real nail before I do any gel design and it's a game changer; my retention is about 5 weeks!

I’m about to do the overlay method for the first time for my Christmas nails. After watching your steps for like 100 times I’m feeling pretty confident 😄 thanks! Also LOVED your tortoise set, did they keep up well using the peel off base?

How long do these usually last? Also, is that a builder gel you're using to adhere the tip to your natural nail. You are truly talented! I love the design you chose
