Perfect Summer One Step Gel Polish Review 

10/05/2017

Hey guys! I’m back with a gel polish review today and thought I’d see if anyone else had tried this one step gel polish as I’m not sure whether I’ve been doing something wrong! 

I love gel nails – they last a lot longer than normal polish and don’t smudge once they’re cured. The only thing I don’t like is having to use a base coat, couple of coats of colour and a top coat – so I wanted to test out some 3 in 1 gel polishes to save my precious Netflix binging time.
However, for some weird reason, I got little indents in the gel and I don’t know why! 😩

Excuse my dirty looking cuticles, I hadn’t tidied them up before taking the photo! 
A couple of them were fine, but if you look at my thumb and middle finger, there are weird indents which continued to reappear after I’d smoothed them out with the brush! 
Anyway, I’ll continue the review on other elements to let you know what I think! 
Colour 
I love the colour and am a massive fan of the pinky hue on my nails for day to day life. It’s very rich and is right up my street. 
Shine
There isn’t a lot of shine which is disappointing as the colour is gorgeous, it just looks a little bit dull and … meh. 
Longevity 
Right, I started this post just after I applied the polish and headed out to do some errands. I was sat in the car outside the fishing tackle shop 🙄 waiting for Aaron to buy all things fishing, when I started to notice that the gel was lifting. I literally peeled them all off in an easy swipe and had a pile of gel in the drinks holder within a couple of minutes. Not impressed as it had only been on for no less than an hour. 
Verdict
I’m going to do some more research to see if I’m doing something wrong before going all in and saying this gel is a pile of wank – but on first impressions, it is indeed a pile of wank.
Let me know whether you’ve tried this gel polish before and about your experiences with it. I’d also like to try out some other ones so let me know your recommendations in the comments! 
Until next time…

    Gelaze gelnbase is good but it benifits from a top coat but it isn’t patchy like that even without one!

So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
