It’s the next best thing to a gel manicure – and perhaps, even better! Nail expert Deborah LIppman has come out with a kit called Gel Lab that gives you the look of a gel manicure without any of the hassle.
Full disclosure: we’ve never had a gel manicure simply because of the reasons of the time and trouble involved coupled with how difficult it is to remove from natural nails.
With this kit does is give you the base coat, appropriately called Coat of Arms and the topcoat, named Shining Armor, to use with whatever nail polish you like.
The results of the system allow you to achieve the high-gloss finish look of a gel manicure with extended wear and brilliance. And there are even more benefits: Gel Lab has an ultra-quick dry time and is extremely easy to remove with any nail polish remover.
That means no tedious wrap and soak process required by gel manicures in salons.
Safe, simple and easy to use – just apply one coat of the base coat, followed by two coats of your favorite polish, topped with one coat of the topcoat, waiting one minute between each layer.
You just got yourself a gorgeous, long-lasting gel-like manicure!
The kit sells for $45 at retailers including Bloomingdale’s, Sephora, Neiman Marcus, Barney’s New York and Nordstrom.
