Do you know about gel nail?
Usually many people use plain nail polish, but I think gel nail is better than plain nail polish.
Gel nails are a
type of artificial
nails that most closely resemble the natural nail. They are similar to acrylic
nails, but still different. Gel nails are formed by a combination of monomer
liquid and polymer powder. The monomer liquid reacts with the polymer powder
when put together which, in turn, forms long polymer strands. After being cured
under a UV light and LED light they dry and harden to form a resin that looks
like a real fingernail. Gel nails can come in any color and can include many
different patterns and designs.

Untill now I introduce about gel nails.
If you have gel nail kit, you can do it at your home.
But if you don't have you have to do that in nail shop :(
Here are the steps that how to do gel nails.
Step One
Similar to a regular manicure, begin with clean, dry nails. Shape and file your nails to your desired shape, push back your cuticles, and then thoroughly buff the surface of your nails with nail buffer. The buffing step is important because it creates a little texture to the nail surface that gives the gel something to adhere to.
Step Two
Apply one coat of the bonder to each nail, just as you would a base coat. The bonder acts as glue to help the gel stay put. This was exactly like applying regular polish and required no additional skill. So far, so good!
Step Three
Here's a look at the UV lamp in action.
After the bonder, apply one coat of the base polish to each nail on your right hand. Then, insert your hand into the LED lamp for 45 seconds to “cure” (harden) the formula. Again, this was extremely straightforward, just like applying nail polish, and only took a minute.. Repeat the base coat process on the other hand.
Step Four
Apply a coat of the gel color to all of the nails on one hand, then cure in the lamp for 45 seconds. Repeat on the other hand. This step is arguably the hardest since you’re applying the color, and if your manicure is going to last 1-3 weeks, you want it to look as neat as possible. Take advantage of the included manicure stick to clean up edges and wipe away any strap polish before you put your hand into the lamp (after you do that, the gel will harden and you won’t be able to fix it). After you’ve cured the first coat on both hands, apply a second coat of the polish to each hand one at a time, curing the first for 45 seconds first before moving on to the other.
Step Five
Apply the top coat to all nails on one hand, and cure for 45 seconds. Repeat on your other hand. You did it! I couldn’t believe how easy the process was, so I patted the surface of one nail to see if the LED lamp really hardened it – success!
Step Six
To finalize the process, saturate a cotton ball or pad with the gel cleanser – this alcohol-based formula removes any sticky residue left over and leaves your nails clean, dry, and shiny. Now, swipe it over each nail (yes, I know it’s a scary thought – this would usually ruin a fresh manicure!). But gel nails dry instantly in the LED lamp, so you can go ahead and swipe the cleanser over their surface and marvel at the fact that they’re already dry.
