We have reviewed some Gel nail polish here before, however it has been a long time since we talked anything nails! The reason for that is because I have been addicted to having my nails done by a nail tech. I honestly didn't think it would make such a difference!
However there are times when I still do my nails at home & when I do I always use Gel style nail polishes.
As my last review stated I love the Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine nail paints, but they can go a little tacky pretty quickly. So I have been trying these Colour Stay Gel Envy polishes by Revlon.
Firstly, I'd say the brush on these Revlon ones are much better & make for really easy use. However I think the shine & opacity of the different polishes in pretty similar, the Barry M being slightly more gel like. The wear time of both is again very similar, so approximately a week (if you're careful).
I think these are the best at home gel ranges, however the polishes really aren't the star of the show here!..
The polishes are great yes, but my favourite item from this whole collection is the Diamond Top Coat!
The top coat for this collection has become an absolute staple of my nail routine. Even when I have them done professionally, if I catch my nail or anything I apply a little on top & it helps them last that bit longer! It's an awesome top coat, which will make any nail polish appear more like gel. I also find that it helps my manicure last up to two weeks, so double the wear time!
So an overall would recommend, especially the top coat!

It's finally summertime here in the UK, so that means it's time to get those feet out, wear so cute sandals & colourful nail polish.
However as we all know it's not quite that simple.
So here's how I get my feet summer ready.
1. Removing any old nail polish
This is a must. You need to get off any old or chipped polish that you have on your toes. I like to use cotton rounds & Cutex Moisture Guard nail polish remover. This nail polish remover is great for dry nails.
2. Trim your toenails
This is another must. Simply because nails that are too long & unkept aren't very nice. Also if you don't trim your toenails they can start to grow under the skin, which is painful!
3. Buff feet
Now it's time to buff off any excess or dry skin on your feet. There are various tools you can use to do this, I just use a manual Scholl one (as pictured above).
4. Apply foot cream
Now that your feet are all smooth it's time to apply some foot cream. Sandal weather means the skin on your feet is very exposed and can get very dry. By applying a foot cream regularly you won't need to spend as much time buffing your feet next time round. The foot cream I'm currently loving is Heel Genius by Soap & Glory.
5. Apply fresh nail polish
This is optional. However I always feel like toenails look 100% better when they're painted. Especially if you're getting them out a lot.
