Do Not Try This at Home ( the gel nail version)

I hope you didn't all run out and get thos OPI gel nails!
Well as crazy as i was about them 3 weeks ago the bloom is slightly off the rose.

Here is the insane thing though ,this week i had to go to Cal Poly Pomona for a work tour and in the process met all the folks at the paints and finishes lab that actually created the product. Isn't that crazy ? Luckily i was still in love and they were wearing well at that time.
I knew it was true also when the knew exactly the color of the gels i was wearing !

However, after a short bout of dish washing on Thanksgiving day 7 or 10 were off, and i was really only prepping the dishes for the dishwasher , so don't imagine me in the prison kitchen !

So I took myself to Sally Beauty supply and bought myself my own non UV light gel kit. Major mistake. There is a reason why they are professionals . I'm not saying i won't go back for the real deal, however, it did kind of limit any creative expression when you have to select a color for life.

I did know a super classy lady once who only wore one shade of Chanel polish, but really how many people do you know who live like that?

So all in all I do think the OPI system is the best colored gel system out there, more importantly I loved the RobbSalon. The calm nature of the salon and its beautiful interior design and still at the tops of my list.

However it is in the Valley , so for the local Silverlake/Los Feliz girls, my vote still goes to Gloss on Sunset. For sure not as fancy, not as elegant, but really isn't that why we are in this neighborhood and not the Valley to begin with !

Gloss Rocks on !

And no matter what, do not try and do it at home ! Spread the wealth and look fabulous ! No one is allowed to look at my hands until these claws drop off !
