It was national nail polish day on the 1st June! Yes, really 🙈 it does exist. A couple of months ago I bought some Gel Shine polishes and I've not looked back since 😍. Some of the colours I've used below are my favourites, but there are 27 to choose from.
Here is a little summary (along with my daughter who is modelling her nails too) and some hints and tips!
They are...
💚 Vegan-friendly
💜 Inspired by Essie Gel Couture.
💜 Healthier Nails: Infused with avocado oil and omega oil extracts so your nails look and feel healthier with every coat.
💜 No UV Lamp: Proven to strengthen nails by 42%, our Gel Shine delivers a hard, gel-like finish without the hassle of a harmful UV lamp.

HINTS AND TIPS
❤️Roll your bottle of polish in your hands versus shaking it. Shaking creates air bubbles in the polish which transfer onto your nails leading to uneven application and chips more easily.
💚When filing nails do not use a sawing motion – use a fluid motion in 1 direction.
💜Don’t moisturise over nails before application –this will prevent the polish from sticking to the nail and lead to a greasy finish
APPLICATION
1. Clip, file and buff your nails.
2. Gently push your cuticles back
(never cut them).
3. Apply the Gel Shine colour in three strokes, one down the middle and one either side of your nail.
4. Stick to a maximum of two coats for a smooth finish.
5. Apply the Top coat in the same pattern as the Gel Shine.
Enjoy your salon-worthy nails!
