Gel nails are kind of a hobby of mine! (Actually anything pretty is a hobby of mine wtf)

I’m not talented or artistic enough to DIY so I usually go to a nail artist hehehe. Her name is Helen and her work is amazing.

I did my nails all the time, design after design, for months at a time.

I’ve stopped doing them so often now though because I don’t have the luxury of time anymore to spend 2-3 hours in a nail salon, as much as I’d love to. Also, this.

T______T Not everything pretty is good for your health wtf.  Everything in moderation wtf. Gel manicures can take a toll on nail health so it’s just as well I take a break and let them rest and recover a bit. In the meantime, I have this to play with!

The latest from Scholl – Velvet Smooth Nail Care System.

When I looked at it and saw so many pieces I was like um this looks difficult wtf.  Hahahahaha cos I’m damn bad with gadgets.

But it’s literally as easy as 123 hahaha. There are three tips for a three step process – 1 for nail filing, 2 for buffing and 3 for shine. It’s basically what your manicurist would do when caring for your nails but in a little electric pen form. All you need to do is just fix on the appropriate tip for whatever you wanna do.

This is the tip for nail filing.  Most people at home would just cut their nails and be done with it (or is that only me wtf cannot be right.) If I’m clipping my nails, I don’t bother with emery boards or anything because… too much work.Also it takes a bit of skill which I don’t really have hahaha.

With this Scholl Nail System, it was so easy though!  Just snap on the file tip, turn it on and buzz away at the tips of my fingernails.  I managed to smoothen my nail edges and create round shapes to my nails.

Filing really makes a big difference in how professional the nails look actually!

For step 2, I clicked on the second ‘tip’ – the buffing one.  Can you see the difference?  My index finger nail has been buffed.  Compare to my middle finger! Buffing removes ridges and bumps in the nail to create a smooth surface.

All nicely buffed! Then I moved on to step 3, shining my nails.

And this is the result! Quite cool hor!? Instant gloss on my nails without having to apply nail polish.  It really looks like it was done in a nail salon!

This is a really nifty gadget la! It’s so easy and quick to use and is practically idiot (or Audrey) proof wtf.  I think the whole process took me maybe ten minutes?  And the best part is that it’s really safe too – I didn’t feel any pain or friction even when I applied the device to the edges of my nails where my flesh starts.  I could have used it while watching TV or something and it would still work fine.
