Couldn't book in for your festive manicure? This is how I get one at home, instead

If you're booked and busy this festive season, yet unable to nab a manicure appointment in time, I've found this at-home gel kit to be a real nail and money saver...

Personally, an at-home gel kit is never going to replace my professional gel appointments, because I love Bio Sculpture nails and the flawless finish my nail tech delivers. But as someone who is fairly disorganised in the appointment department and something of a procrastinator, I do occasionally find myself in need of a fresh manicure yet unable to get a slot at my favourite salon, as they book up quickly. Traditional air-drying polish can work wonders in a pinch, but what about when you need your nails to remain chip-free for multiple days in a row?
