DIY gel polish

I got creative and painted my own nails today. I love this purple/grey color, it's SO perfect for fall. I wanted to do something different and funky so I added some glitter polish to my ring fingers and a fun chevron design to the middle fingers

on each hand. It's fun to spice it up and do something out of the box bc most of the time I'm pretty boring. 

Naturally, I'm a huge fan of OPI and Essie but I have to say that china glaze is pretty fabulous and the cost is a little bit better. This color is called "Below Deck". It looks more brown in the picture, but really it's a perfect mix of purple and grey. I topped it off with 2 coats of gel polish and cured it under the uv light for 3 minutes each coat. You can grab the light and gel topcoat at Sally's. It makes your polish last for a week or two if you do it right.
