Gel nails have special place in my heart. Their longevity and shiny crystal finish make me giddy, but the UV light process, and the ordeal of wrapping each finger in pure acetone to remove gel polish is enough to keep me from doing it often. I usually save gel nails for special occasions, but I was on the hunt for that glossy finish of gel polish that I could use everyday. And, let's all take a deep breath, I think I've found it with Nails Inc. Gel Effect polishes and Essie's Gel Setter top coat.
I picked up the Nails Inc Gel Effect in Black Taxi at Sephora a few weeks ago, and it's just too good. This British brand makes a mean nail polish with high pigmentation, and luxe shine. The polish itself is thin, so each coat glides on effortlessly, and dries a lot faster than other polishes I've used. Black Taxi is pretty shiny on it's own, but being the glutton that I am I topped it with Essie's Gel Setter, which boosted my nails with extra shine. This combo made my nails look as if I had wrapped them in patent leather. I tried capturing the glossiness in my photos, but you might have to go to Sephora and sample it.
Please do, and experience this joy for yourself.
