Gel Nail Varnishes

I was the #1 fan of another brand’s gel finish line until I got my hands on Boots No7 Gel Finish ($8.99). This gel finish is an advanced formula that gives your nails long-lasting coverage in just one coat, although I prefer my nails thicker, so I apply 2 coats of the color and 1 application of the clear topcoat. No base coat is needed and in warm weather, you won’t get (at least I haven’t

experienced it yet) the dreaded “bubbling” that tends to happen, in other words you get a smooth finish. What’s more, your patience won’t be tested because this nail polish has a quick-dry technology that promises a show-stopping, high shine finish for 10 days, while it contains a UV filter that protects against fading and yellowing of the nail. Comes in 16 vibrant shades:. Pink Meringue, Hotting Up, Summer Holiday, Deep Wine, Neptune, Top Coat, Pillarbox, Golden Sands, Orange Spice, Purple Bouquet, Pink Blossom, Porcini, Grey Mist, Persian Blue, Moon Shimmer, Coral Crush and Sweet Lilac. Available at select Walgreens and Duane Reade locations, Walgreens.com, Drugstore.com, Beauty.com, and US.Boots.com.

“they capture a crystalline essence with icy, glistening finishes. Shapes range from the elegantly slender almond to a naturally subtle square, with shimmer that evokes the glint of sun setting across the snow.”

The CND Vinylux system lasts up to 7 days, dries in seconds and remains brilliant and shiny over the course of wear. The benefits of this system versus the traditional gel polishes is first, there’s no uv-light needed, you don’t need base coat, and you sustain no nail damage during removal with the CND® SHELLAC® brand Nourishing Remover.
