Hi-lighter nails

 Remember I got gel nails two weeks ago. I went to Sally's to buy some acetone nail polish remover to take it off, per instructions from the manicurist.  Let me tell you...getting those things off was difficult!  So difficult that I still have two gel nalis. LOL

While at Sally's, I picked up this Orange Knockout (Neon) nail polish by China Glaze. I thought it looked pretty dope. Actually, there were several colors I liked. 

Those are actually my real nails in the pictures. Oh, and by the way...I'm learning to use Instagram. You can follow me CMWriter. I'm quite technologically challenged, so it is taking me a moment to get it. Ha!

Back to the nails. I don't think I will do the gel nails again, unless I plan on spending fifty bucks a month to get them put on and taken off and reapplied. When I tried to peel the gel pain off, it scruffed up my nails.

Yes, the manicurist told me to scratch it off instead of peel...but I soaked my nails in that acetone remover then tried to scratch the paint off and nothing happened.

Do you all have tips on how to get the gel nail polish off?

What do you think about the hi-lighter nail colors? I remember when neon was so popular when I was a little girl in the 80s. I guess everything has a second fashion run.

I just started wearing gel polish and while I love the staying power of it, it is such a pain to remove!! My salon charges $5 for removal, and the one time I tried removing it myself was dreadful...took me forever!

Love those neon colors you're rocking! Might have to try it myself on my next visit to the salon :-)

The gel nails do have great staying power, and the process is so quick! But I hated trying to take them off LOL.

Thanks! I have several other colors I want to try :)
