Secret Garden Collection | Gel II

I recently received the new Secret Garden collection of gel polishes from Gel II and I've been trying them out over the last couple of weeks.

The collection consists of six gorgeous colours, in the new and improved formula, that are perfect for those of you who are in the Northern hemisphere coming into Spring.

I've done a swatch and comparison video on my YouTube channel, after many requests from subscribers, so that you can see the new collection and how the colours compare to what you may already have in your salons.

I've listed the product information in the description bar below the video.

Enjoy,

Gel II Nail Art Using Magpie Glitter & Uber Chic Stamping

Gel II Nail Art Using Magpie Beauty Glitter & Uber Chic Stamping

Three of my favourite products all in one tutorial.  Gel II, Magpie Beauty and Uber Chic Beauty

I've been playing around with these gorgeous glitters from Magpie Beauty and the amazing stamping plates from Uber Chic Beauty and came up with this idea.  It reminds me of a tortoise.  

I've added all the product information in the description bar, as usual.  I was VERY tired when I filmed this and all sorts of stuff went pair shaped in filming so I've included a blooper section right at the end if you're interested.

I hope you like the tutorial.

Three Shades of Grey Nail Tutorial Using Gel II

Three Shades of Grey Nail Art Tutorial Using Gel II

So I was feeling a little down in the dumps, and I'd had a bad day, when I did these, so there's a lot of 'grey' used.

I ended up adding a little bit of Party Like It's 1642 to perk things up a little.

All the products used are listed in the disruption bar below the video.

If you've got any questions, leave them in the comments and I'll get back to you :-)

Full Coverage Foil Application Over Gel II

Full Coverage Foil Application Over Gel II

If you are wondering if you can get full coverage foil nail art over Gel II, the answer is yes!

It's very easy and looks fantastic.

I get all my nail foils from the same supplier, who is consistently good and has an amazing range.  She sells worldwide, with some UK exceptions I believe.  All her details are listed in the description bar of the video, along with all the information you need if you want to purchase Gel II.  

I've done a range of different foils to give you some idea of what's out there.

I hope you enjoy the video.  If you do, please subscribe to my YouTube channel.  Links can be found in the description bar of the video.

Thanks for watching.

Gel II Removal - NO BUFFING REQUIRED!

Gel II Removal - NO BUFFING REQUIRED!

I decided to try something different with my Gel II removal when I took my product off this time as I've heard that some of you lovely ladies are having great success in removal with no buffing.

I typically have two colour coats, a stamping layer and I generally finish off with two top coats of the Xtreme Shine topcoat.  Unnecessary probably but I am still doing the same as I did with the previous product I used on my nails.

So I took some photos to see how I would go and I will follow this up with a full removal video next time I remove my Gel II.

I wrapped the nails using the Gel II Remover Wraps and I used pure acetone.  I then secured them with my proTIPCLIPS, just for extra pressure on the nail.

I then covered the nails with a warm wheat bag and set the timer for 10 minutes.  Now I did find that this was in fact too hot for my nails so I didn't leave the wheat bag on the entire time.  It was probably on for realistically around five minutes.

When I removed the wraps I was really pleased to see that the Gel II had lifted up nicely off the nails and I was able to go in give them a good rub with a plastic backed pad.

After the plastic backed pad I went in very gently with an orange wood stick and removed any excess product from the nail and finished off with another good rub with a plastic backed pad and the result was really great.  No damage or dryness to my nails at all and removal in 15 minutes (including wrapping and removing remaining product).

Even though it doesn't look like you will be able to remove it easily, and can look like it's still well adhered to the nail, don't be fooled!  If you follow these steps you will have the product off in no time and some gorgeous, strong nails when you've finished removal.

As I said, I will have a full removal video up next time I remove my Gel II so stay tuned to my YouTube channel for that.

I hope this helped you :-)
