I LOVE THINGS THAT ARE SHINY. That’s probably how I got involved in this beauty situation to begin with, right? I’m drawn to all that glitters like a magpie is: the shinier the better.

So when I experienced the unbeatable gloss that is Dashing Diva‘s new exclusive Gelife nail service, it had me at HELLO. Even better? It lasts much longer than a standard manicure–about two weeks—and there’s no waiting 15 minutes to dry post-mani. So you can gelife and then live your life.

Gelife is a new procedure where two coats of a soft, removable gel is applied just like polish, then cured under a UV light after each application. The gel immediately sets in the UV light, leaving a mani (or pedi!) that lasts for up to two weeks and requires zero drying time. It currently comes in three natural colors: Clear, Cool Pink, and Warm Pink. I’m currently sporting the Cool Pink and am lurving it. Plans for more colors are in the works! You can also do the Gelife French.

To remove Gelife, you simply soak nails in pure acetone. The best way is to soak a cotton ball in acetone, place over nail and wrap each finger in foil. Wait ten minutes, and then remove. The gel is then softened and can be wiped off. Your natural nails are left healthy and intact underneath.
