I get my nails done every 3-4 weeks. Ive been going there 3 years and pay £17 a time. However, there is not a lot of choice plus there has been a couple of times when its not been put on that well.
Anyway looking into Ebay I can pick up a lamp, some colours, acetone and supplies for a little under £60.
Im considering just doing it myself every week or two at home. The thing is how much money would I spend on replenishing stock? Would it work out more expensive? Plus where I go puts on gel before the colour. I would just put on the colour (with a base and top coat)
Im asking because once I decide not to go to my regular place Id feel uncomfortable going back if I decided it is better going to a proper place.
Does anyone else do it themselves? How does it compare with going to a nail place?

Is it worth getting my own nail lamp and gel varnishes?
