Beauty Swellness: The Nail Report

Nall-job craving: To finally try the Kiss Gel Polish System I got weeks ago from Walmart.

How I satisfied that craving: It being summer, I opted for the fruity watermelon-esque shade of Juicy. The kit was surprisingly easy to use. Next time, I think I could probably afford to apply thinner coats of the polish. But I was pleased as punch with how shiny and flaw-free I was able to do this mani, and it lasted me a whole week (probably would’ve lasted longer but I took it off for a new nail product I had to try out).

How this nail colour makes me feel: It’s not as juicy as Shellac Tropix, but it’s a comfortable colour to wear. It’s practically a neutral for me after all the nail art and neons I often wear. The colour is a bit salmon-esque (and I was salmon fishing when I snapped this photo out in the Bute Inlet in British Columbia, fancy that! I’m sure my fishing guide was tres impressed I was focused on my nails during the excursion…).

Love it or hate it: Love. Can’t wait to try more shades from the Kiss line. As for removal, I had it removed at Tips Nail Bar so I can’t yet speak to if it was relatively simple for me to do at home.
