NO FUSS NAILS
For a gel-like manicure without the fuss, try new Phenom by Jessica. The three-step system created by Jessica Vartoughian gives a gel-like shine for up to 10 days and gets brighter without touch-ups. A flexible polymer in Phenom Vivid Colour combines with a photo initiator in Phenom Finale Shine to create a glossy, chip-resistant finish with exposure to natural light — no LED or UV lamp needed. Just apply any Jessica Basecoat, two coats of Vivid Colour and one coat of Finale Shine. Remove it easily with regular polish remover. They cost $10.95 each or get a starter kit (three colors and a topcoat) for $43.80 at www.jessicacosmetics.com.
