Crushed Shell





Soft and hard gel combination with crushed natural nail overlay with soft gel. 
That is why I combined soft gel and hard gel together. In general, it is said soft gel and hard gel should not be combined but there is the way to do.
These are my own nails. Excuse my cuticles. I just pushed them and did not trim.

Spring maple green




Eventually she has got a new full set soft gel overlay after being infilled twice. Her last new full set was done on Feb. Her nail bed seems to be longer than before. As she requested, I filed down her free edges as short as possible but she has still got long enough nails. When she got her gel nails done at first, her natural nail were weak and brittle splitting. She has kept wearing gel on her nails and maintain to infill once a month. It got her natural nails stronger after all. 
She chose Spring Maple leaf green and I got it faded and put retro cosmos flower stickers on. 


Soft gel removal - $20
New fullset - $77 including retro cosmos flower stickers on 4 nails

Gel inifill at the 2nd time

Soak off gel nail 2nd infill.
I did not find any liftings at all. It is quite amazing. The first new gel application was done in Feb. The first infill was done in March.

I usually do not recommend to go for the infill at three times because the whole nails become fat and do not look nice at all.


Infill - french  and changing colour from previous design - $65
Holographic sequins - $10

total $75
