UV Gel!!

So, I finally got around to trying UV gels. It's really been a long time since I did anything with my nails, so I did something really different. I saw a friend of mine make drips down her nail, and I thought of this ice cream design. I stuck on some fimo accents that I had made, I made a swirly lollipop, a slice of cake, a sandwich cookie, a whoopie pie, and a chocolate chip cookie. I also made the sprinkles, and coated it all with the UV gel. The gel I used was Lina brand, which I got from Ebay. I had the U Spicy UV lamp which I had gotten off of Amazon forever ago. It worked pretty well, although it took much longer than 2 minutes to cure. I've been wearing the nails for about 5 hours now and no signs of chipping (which would have happened usually by now with my luck) I also made the nails shorter than usual because long nails get in my way. I hope to make more nail art soon and get it onto Etsy since I need to start making some money back from all these things I bought. Please be sure to check back here often, I'll post about my shop here.
