The Nail Files: Hot Rod Red


Last week I wasn't in the mood to do my nails, so I decided to visit a local nail salon to get my nails done. NICE! While there, I chose a gel polish because it stays on a lot longer than nail polish. Also, since I'm a fan of red, I picked out a red Gelish gel polish called Hot Rod Red ;)

Linking up with Jennie Shaw for The Nail Files...Hope to see you there ;)

The Nail Files: Tangy Tangerine


For today's manicure, I wanted to use a new gel polish set I bought recently called Gelli Beans. I bought this particular gel polish set online from Hautelook for a great price, and I wanted to try it out. So, for my polish I used Tangy Tangerine and for my middle fingernails I used a Julie G nail polish called Light It Up.
