as some of you may know, i've been obsessed with getting gel manicures lately. it's so easy: go to the salon, get them done, walk out with dry nails that last 2.5 weeks with no chipping. which is huge for me since my hands and nails get beat up by all the glue, wire, metal, etc. i'm always DIYing/jewelry'ing. the place i go to is $37 and they have a ton of colors. if you're in LA i highly recommend Elegant Nails on Robertson!
this is the sparkly gold i got yesterday which will carry me into next year! i figured it was the perfect xmas/new years color. this color is by Basic One gels which is the same brand that makes this sparkly turquoise i get all the time (which people always ask about). so call salons in your area and ask if they carry the sparkly Basic One colors!
