Questions about vacation nails

Gel or builder gel on short to medium nails lasts best. Very long extensions are more likely to break while traveling.

One or two days before you leave, so the set is fresh and lasts the whole trip.

What colors look best on vacation?

Bright colors like coral, turquoise and hot pink look great with tanned skin and holiday photos.
