Dashing Diva’s Gelife Soak-Off UV Gel System has everything you need to get started with gel services. The kit can be used to make standard pink-and-whites as well as more fashion-forward nail designs such as the “ombre effect,” in which the nails gradate from one shade of color to the next. The ombre effect is currently making a big impact in fashion and beauty, and the look is especially easy to get with Dashing Diva Professional French Tipped color extensions. You can achieve the ombre look by lightening or darkening — depending on your perspective — a shade within a color as it moves from finger to finger.
