DIY Gel Manicures For Fall
I have been obsessed with doing my nails at home, and it went into overdrive when I invested in gel extensions.
The number of times that I switched up my nails during the last few months is more than I would like to admit. Safe to say that many people have picked up new hobbies, and doing my nails has been my hobby/therapy during this turbulent year. With that in mind, I decided to create three looks for November with gel polishes from AliExpress and Amazon. Your girl is on a budget, but that does not mean my nails have to suffer.
Berry Abstract
Swirls have been all over social media, and my Pinterest has been filled to the brim with inspiration. The nail trend is also an opportunity to introduce a new color, magenta, into the mix. A color seldom used in my regular rotation. To recreate the look at home, you need a sheer base, a Berry/Magenta nail shade, a slim nail brush, and patience.

Feelin’ Blue
Periwinkle, cornflower, navy, we love all shades of blue here, and sometimes the simpler is better when it comes to nails. This is a vibrant shade of blue that can only be described as electric. Apply any shade on any nail shape or length and upgrade any outfit.

Go With The Flow
I have never done a yin yang nail-inspired look before, and this took a while to plan out, to be honest. I wanted a mixture of abstract shapes and solid colors to create a balanced, cohesive look. With a collection of photos gathered from Pinterest, my nails are a playful experiment with empty space. This look is super easy to create at home, and you only need two nail tools, a dotting tool, and a thin nail brush. I recommend trying it ASAP!
