Bio Gel Nails

Weddings can bring out the 'girlyness' in us women and what better way to get girly than getting make overs?!  My sister is getting married in April so we have been trying different things out for it.  We went for a trial of the new 'Bio Gel Nails' after hearing how good they are.

First of all, they are not extensions.  You can sometimes get a top tab extension but if you think they are like acrylics then you are mistaken.  The nails are reinforced nail varnish that are designed to be resilient while protecting the nail underneath.  I have very brittle nails and so I am always happy to try anything.

It took about 45 minutes for the full application.  It started off with a file and nail clear ups.  After which layer upon layer of the 'gel' is painted onto the nail.  It was alternated between clear and the colour - I had chosen a light pink but there are now a range of colours plus you can have french manicure.  Each layer is then set using a UV light.  This is creating the strength is the varnish and stops each layers from mixing together.

Once all the layers are completed then the nails are good to go.  They are dry and strong from the moment you leave.

I had them applied 2 weeks ago.  The nails are visibly stronger and longer.  It has meant that the nail can flourish underneath giving me a good length all round.  I am going to have them removed tomorrow to see just how strong the nails are so watch this space!
