Now I understand the blue light at the nail place at the mall.
I wanted to try gel polish because I only do my toe and I wanted something that wouldn't peel or crack when I have shoes on during the winter. I got a cheap UV light at WallyMart which sounds easy.  They were out and I had to wait a week for a shipment to get in.  Such first world problems.<br /><br />I use the grayish color, not that you can see the colors by looking at the bottles. I did this during the day with a light so I could carefully put it on without getting and on my skin.  That sounds easier than it was, too.  I made a mess on two toes an had to whip out the acetone. When I got the gel right, it was more a user error than the polish, I whipped out the UV light.  I guess it look okay. After it cures, I does have a gel look to it.  I did put on a topcoat of regular polish to get a better shine.<br /><br />Yes, I have to wear shoes and nobody will really see it, but I'll know it's there.
