I do DIY gel at home, just overlay on my own rather long nails. I had been interested in trying it for a while as I follow a number of youtube nail channels, so bought the lamp and electric file and everything during the first lockdown and just taught myself Haven't graduated to Acrylic yet, but I can build an extension with a form and polygel or builder gel if I break one! Mostly I use a builder get to give mine enough strength to not break while being quite long. I like to do marbling and ombre with gel polishes and there is always some glitter or cheap fake crystals and metal decals for a bit of sparkle Just ordered some alcohol inks to try for my next adventure! I do detest removing and filing/shaping them though...
Hope you get something nice. I spied a girl in Finglas who does acrylic with great gel polish art (https://www.instagram.com/tashas_beauty_page/)
I have no idea what any of those words mean. It's like a PhD in Beauty or the Starbucks language of coffees. Colour me impressed. I wouldn't know the first thing about ... well, any of it. Well done, ari - good looord, marbling?! I have only ever managed clear varnish (and that was a decade ago), else it would look like a toddler did my nails (and painted my fingers as well, lol). This goes for makeup too - never got the hang of anything fashionably feminine.
