My experience with: Gel Nails!

Hi guys!

I thought very much about what should be our topic of conversation today, and then it hit me... my new nails! I discovered that it was a bit of a "tabu" talk because everyone wants to do it but, at the same time, everyone is afraid to do it! That was what lead me to post something about this: to demystify all your fears! :)

So, about two months ago, I made the decision to transform my nails for a very important event: I decided to make gel nails. My boyfriend invited me to go to his prom at his college and I was very worried about my nails at the time because they were ruined! So, I thought: "I have this prom now, and three days later we are going to Rome for a little "vacation" trip. Why not have beautiful nails at both ocasions?" It was the best decision of my life!

(MY) TRUTH ABOUT GEL NAILS:

I always had very short and very ugly nails that would break in first chance they had so I was never able to have those long, shiny, beautiful, luscious nails that I saw on another girls. I was always sad. But now that I can make my own decisions, I researched a lot about the theme and I asked questions to people who had the experience already.

Everyone thinks two things about gel nails:

a) that they are very high maintenance;

b) that it will ruin your own natural nails;

None of this is true!

First things first: nowadays, doing gel manicure is a normal thing. The majority of the hair salons are fully prepared to do it for you, with a real good quality and a very competitive price! You must ask all the questions that you have to your beautician before you made your decision: that is crucial!

Secondly: you must have a competent beautician taking care of you! Some "nail girls" can ruin your natural nail in the filling of the nail process. If she fills your nature nail too much, before putting the gel, your natural nail will be so thin, so weak, and it will be ruined. We should research what is your type of nail and find a competent beautician, that knows what she is doing (like mine!), to take care of your babies and keep them safe!

If you are wondering, my beautician is in Barcelos, Portugal, near to my house. She is so competent and so nice! I love her so so much! I will link her facebook page down below so you can see her work on the nails, if you are interested. Her name is Manuela, she is a doll!

So, here they are: my pretty nails!

This is my third look: just white gel in three nails and glitter in the thumb and in the ring finger.

So, that is all for today!

I hope you enjoyed this little post about a common problem of our days. Every girl thinks about it once in her life, so it's good to be informed about it.

Don't forget it: information is key! 

DON'T DO IT IF YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT!

BE SAFE AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT! :)

If you have more questions don't be afraid to ask: comment down below, ask questions on facebook, twitter or instagram. I will link my instagram and twitter down below to, and Dany will do the same this week! Send me a tweet, I will love it!

Love you guys so much! See you next time!

Special Review: Chanel Lipstick*

Hi cuties!

Here we are again, now in June. The summer is almost here, it is hot outside, the sun is shinning, all is beautiful and colorful!

And talking about color...

Today I thought that I could do a special review of a special present that my boyfriend gave me.

I bring you: the Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick by Chanel!

So, just to get started, this is a limited edition lippie. It is a very smooth and creamy lipstick. I got it  this past March and, since that day, I wore it almost every single day just to test its texture and durability on the lip.

It has a magnet on the top, so you could open it and close it in an easy way, and keep the lipstick safe and without marks.

After all this time, I made my decision about this product: it's a win in some parts but it could bring some problems to several people, depending on the type of texture that you like on the lip.

I'm a matte lippie person, so creamy products like this one, can be a difficult task for me. It slides very well on the lip, so you don't need to be worried with that. It's not like those matte or retro matte lippies from M.A.C. that are very dry on the application and on the lip. 

For me, in the summer, those are my favourites because they don't slide off so easy. Creamy products are not recommended for the summer because of the high temperatures - they almost boil!

This is a product that would be definitly one of my winter favourites, specially on the holiday season!

But I got it for this summer because of the color! I fell in love with this color! It is a deep, power, bright pink, almost magenta. I was looking for a bright color to my lips for this time of the year because summer is a very fun and happy season. We all love the bright colors of summer, and neons for parties!

This one is in number 50, called "La Romanesque". I got it at Sephora.

In my opinion it is a luxury product. Not everyone is willing to spend 36 euros (or 36 dollars) to have this baby in the house. 

So, that is all for today!

We hope that you all enjoyed this new post.

We love you all so much, and we are sorry for the lack of posts in this past times...
