"Yesterday I stopped into Lali Lali Salon to have a sweet artist named Renee give me a sparkly Gelish manicure that made my nails look like Dorothy&amp;#x27;s ruby slippers. I&amp;#x27;d make a joke about not being in Kansas anymore, but I&amp;#x27;ve never been to Kansas so that would feel hallow and cheap. So let&amp;#x27;s just move on to the nails. Sorry this picture looks like a nail mug shot, but to really see the sparkles I had to take it with a flash. So sparkly! I&amp;#x27;m in love! Anyway, so Gelish is just like other gel hybrid manicures&amp;amp;#8212;they last a couple weeks, are extra-shiny and require no drying time. But&amp;amp;#8212;BUT&amp;amp;#8212;the line has a lot more colors to choose from than other brands. Oh, and they make glitter options, too, obviously--they just mix it with the nail polish itself or pile it on top like Renee did to mine before putting on a resin-like top coat that makes it all smooth. And the price is similar--a google search finds prices around $25 to $35 per mani. Impressed? p.s. I definitely know Renee from somewhere non-work-related--we spent the whole time trying to figure out how, but we couldn&amp;#x27;t totally pinpoint it. The best we could come up with is we both know lawyers. But she&amp;#x27;s my new nail bestie now, so whatever. p.p.s. Special thanks to Allure&amp;#x27;s Alyssa Kolsky Hertig, who helped connect me with the salon after I freaked over her awesome ombre mani! *** More Ways to Get Glamour: Pick Up Glamour&amp;amp;#8217;s 1,000 Beauty Dos &amp;amp; Don&amp;amp;#8217;ts to Live By Forever, On Newsstands Now!
