Tell me about: Gel Nails

This post was inspired by my cousin's latest manicure; mmm hhmm gel nails! They can last for up to 3 weeks without any chipping! I just love the perfectly smooth and even texture of the nails and it still looks soooo natural.

So, what are gel nails? Gel nails are extremely natural looking artificial nails that most closely resemble our actual nails. Although similar to acrylic nails, gel nails contain an additional short chain monomers which make the nails more flexible. They are also odorless, clear, and light weight. Due to increasing popularity, gel nails are now available in kits so that women can easily apply them at home. Awesome, no?

Check out how glossy and even the nails are?

I have yet to try it out so I'm not too familiar with the application and removal of the gel nails. Dying to try it out at a nail salon! Do leave comments if you know more ;)
