Well it will officially be one week tomorrow since I did my manicure with the Red Carpet LED kit. I am pleasantly surprised at how well it held up.
My hands are always in water. I count mounds of cash all day at work so I'm always washing my hands. I have dogs in my life and I am obsessed with always having clean hands! I type a lot and I am generally pretty hard on my nails every day.
You can see more of my nails at the cuticle beds but a lot of that is because my nails grow very fast. A lot of this is due to growth.
From this picture on the left you can see that the polish is starting to peel away. But truth be told I didn't do a fantastic job on this nail. It seemed a lot thicker than the other nails. I didn't control the amount of polish properly when I first applied the color. The instructions state that you have to apply a thin layer. I might have been a bit heavy handed on this one.
Another tip too is that you have to get the complete nail. When I originally painted this I didn't apply the color nor the top coat all the way down both sides and the front/tip of the nail.
You can see from the picture (left) that it is chipping off at the tip.
Overall I am very happy with this manicure. It is no means done professionally and you can only tell that by the spots that I messed up on! And the parts where the cotton remnants were stuck too! My friend was shocked when I told her that I did it myself using a kit from the drugstore!
Let's see what happens next week! Stay tuned!!
