Can we talk manicures for a second? I mean...I know there is a lot of really important things going on in the world but I'd really like to talk manis right now. Namely...MY manicure.

I'm not a gel set chick. They scare me. They scare important doctor people too so there's that. But I will admit that gel manicures look gorg-e-mous!

But I don't want another battle with cancer. No way...no how. It's funny how most of the things in my life center around not wanting to get cancer again. LOL! (Don't die Bethie!)

I bought this product, Essie Gel Setter, when I first saw it. The majority of my nail polish is Essie so I tend to look around there often. I bought this when it was first released and I've been testing it ever since.

Normally my manicures last about a 4 days with a normal Essie top coat. I'm on day 6 of this manicure and I'm over the moon with the results.

AND I WON'T GET POTENTIALLY GET CANCER!

My manicure has a high gloss with that professional look which probably came from the fact that I rub the edges with tipped cotton applicators dipped in nail polish remover.

The colors I used for this manicure (I put polka dots on my ring finger...GO ME!) were Marshmellow, Muchi, Muchi and Watermelon.

I think it's going to last a minute and I'm excited about it! I'm not crazy about going to get manicures. I'll go get a pedicure but never a manicure it seems so I'm so excited I found this product so my manicures last longer and look for real professional! GO ME!

What top coat do YOU use? Do you get gel manicures? Do they concern you?
