Do your own nails with this bestseller gel nail kit with UV lamp that Amazon reviewers swear by!


Tools and materials:

  • Gel polish
  • Cling wrap

Applying dots of colored nail polish

1. Apply nail polish

Apply two different colored nail polishes in small dots all over your nail. Start by first applying one and then apply the second over the top the first.


Do this quickly so that they don't dry; you'll need them to be wet for the next step.

2. Tap your nails with cling wrap

Bunch up some cling wrap into a ball and use tweezers to lightly tap the nail with the cling wrap. This nail art hack is going to blend the two colors together in a really cool way.


Make sure to do this all over the nail. The cool thing about this trick is that you can use any color you want, and it’ll still look just as awesome. It will look like smoke or marble.

    Love that but I’m not going out and buying a UV lamp

      You can get a YV lamp on Amazon for as little as $9.94. Well worth it to do your own nails at home.
