I always get a gel mani when traveling. Since I received so many compliments on this one while visiting family and friends in New York a few weeks ago, I thought I would share! :)

Before a recent trip to Cabo, I decided I would try my first gel manicure. I heard it can be damaging to the nails, so I avoided getting these mani's even though they are super stylish and very popular. The brand and shade recommended to me by the lovely ladies at Beverly Hills Nail Design was CND Shellac™ in the color Romantic. It looked great and lasted for 14 days…perfect for vacation. P.S. There was NO nail damage once the polish was removed.
I love the clean look and mirror-like shine! CND Shellac in Romantique.

Sugar Daddy by Essie was used in this subtle French manicure with a squoval nail shape…perfection!
