SensatioNail gel manicure kit

So a few weeks ago I was on twitter and I noticed a certain Beverly Hills housewife was offering a contest for the best summer manicure. I submitted a few pictures of my nail art and a week later I found out I won! The prize was an at home gel manicure kit with the uv lamp and everything. I had never gotten a gel manicure before (mostly because I change my nails so often) but I was excited to try it. The results were really great. It took a while to do but I've had the polish on for a week and still no chips. Here a pic of my nails a week later!

Then I cut out some beautiful parts of some fabric I had and modge podged them on. I will probably need to give the whole thing a coat of clear acrylic gloss but here are the results so far.
