Our COW (Color of the Week) this time is KIARA SKY GEL ECHO #482. I’d say this color is a bit mysterious because it looks brown in bottle but show up as dark purple. But it’s a very pretty color (more beautiful in real) with shimmer and glitter in dark purple base. KIARA ECHO also comes in a matching regular nail lacquer.
Kiara Sky gel is available at Esther’s Nail Center individually or in a matching lacquer set. SHOP NOW.

Spring is near. Are you ready for it? With the NEW Daisy DND Gel Spring colors, we can’t wait to sport some of these colors especially when all start to chirp, bud and blossom.
A while ago, Daisy DND released 18 new sweet and delightful pastel gel colors that we thought were perfect for Spring. So we waited to introduce them at the right moment, which is now. All new colors are now in-stock at www.EsthersNC.com. The color codes are from #528-545.
This time, our staff (Maryna) swatched 5 of them and wanted to share her experience with the new colors. All of them are pretty bright, sweetly rich, and perfect for your sophisticated yet subtle style.
This hot pink is pretty hot that makes me keeps looking at how beautiful they are. And they are very attractive. Application is flawless, very easy to even it out. And it stays up to 3 weeks.
Daisy Rose City, MI is a delicate pink with a city name. It’s a light pastel pink creme. Application is okay. Light color is usually difficult to even it out. That’s what happened when I tried it out. Applying 3 layers smoothed out the streak but it makes the application thick. So, it only stays up to 2 weeks.
I love purple, so I love Daisy Purple Passion. The color is quite opaque and can be seen just from 1 layer. Application is smooth and stays up to 3 weeks.
The minty Green Isle, MN is another color that is named after a city of (you guessed it!) Green Isle, MN. But the formulation is a bit on the thick side and it’s a bit difficult to even the streaks out. So it needs 3 layers to look opaque enough. It stays up to 2 weeks on my nails.
Daisy Orange Cove, CA #544 has a daring, neon orange color, which will attract people attention to your nails, in a positive or …maybe a little negative way 🙂 as Maryna said. This is not for the faint-hearted, who likes subtle or nude colors. Ready for the challenge? Try it now.
Daisy DND gel polish, combined with the base and top, stays long on my nails (up to three weeks). When I used Daisy base coat, removal is easy. But with OPI Base coat gel, the gel polish just flakes off from the nail during removal process. That’s why I like to use OPI base coat.
I’d like to know what you think about Daisy DND and its new colors. Please comment below 🙂
Dear readers! Happy New Year…We wish you a happy and beautiful year 🙂

One problem people may have with gel manicure is undercuring. It shows when the polish is still sticky after curing and wiping. Undercuring will increase the risk of service breakdown and may increase the risk of an allergy to any gel product.
Potential Causes & Solutions
Improper hand placement –> Hands and nails should be properly placed far enough under UV or LED bulbs
Gel has been applied too thickly –> Apply thin layers. Shake nail polish well before application. Cure each layer separately and cure according to the recommended time by the manufacturer.
Not using CND UV Lamp –> Shellac was developed to be fully cured using Shellac lamp. Using different lamp may cause Shellac is not fully cured.
Bulbs need to be replaced –> Recommended time to replace all bulbs is 6 months or when it shows signs of undercuring.
Incorrect removal of tacky layer or use acetone or diluted Isopropyl Alcohol –> Use 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to remove sticky layer.
Do you have any experience with undercured gel or shellac polish? Please share on the comments below. Thank you.
We wrote some time ago about Gelibility gel polish, a product that changes your regular nail polish to gel nail polish. And we want to introduce you to another similar product called Infinite Color Palette Gel Kit.
Create your own gel polish shades with Infinite Color Palette Kit. You can create your unlimited array of colors using nearly any regular nail polish. The gel polish made (about .5oz finished product), can cures in 30 seconds under LED or 2 minutes under UV. And it lasts for weeks without chipping or peeling.
Save the remaining nail polish for pedicures & touch-ups. Also get creative by mixing colors or adding glitters!
The Kit includes:
Exclusive Formula Gel
Lacquer Extractor
Filler Tube
and a Color Display Ring. Just add your favorite polish!
What makes Infinite different than Gelibility is the way it uses to create the gel polish. With Infinite, you need to use the polish extractor to take out a lot of nail polish and fill it into the Infinite bottle. With Gelibility, you use drops to create as much gel polish you want. Basically, they are the same. With Infinite I guess you can use couple drops to make little amount of gel polish too.
