DIY Gel or acrylic nails?

[Ladylove]

I think the home gel kits are expensive as an initial cost as you have to buy the uv light, gels etc but probably cheaper in the long run if you get your nails done regularly. I think the trick is the level of uv in the light - re the most effective home kits.

I bought the base level gel kit from price attack. it cost about $80 to set up. I no longer get acrylics done because finger nails last 2+ weeks. Toenails last until they grow out :-) one of the best investments I've made. I dare say it has probably saved me over $1000 so far I have also bought the home acrylic kits and even after lessons I'm still not happy with the results I get, especially using my non-dominant hand. I love the results with my gel kit though
