ENG: Last friday my sister Amber and I went to the exclusive pre-opening of the first Shoeby flagship store in The Hague. I have been to loads of fashion events and my sis and I both agreed that this was the best event we've ever been to! Everything was taken care of in the slightest detail; there were amazing hostesses, great music, yummy drinks and bites, girls walking around with polaroid cameras and a very fun and fashionable vibe! Dutch stylist Fred van Leer was there to welcome all the guests and of course my sister and I took a picture with him;)Years ago I honestly thought of Shoeby as a bit dull, it was not a store I would actually go. The invite sounded very interesting though, that is why I was curious enough to attend the event. I was so pleasantly surprised! Shoeby has got an amazing brand new image and concept! The clothes are hotter than hot, I spotted every single one of the latest trends on the clothes racks and the best thing: the prices made me super happy! Shoeby fits right in with H&M, Zara and other hot & happening clothing stores♥

Today I have something very cool to show you lovelies: a soak off gel nail set from Madam Glam! I was very excited to try this product because I haven’t tried gel nails before, let alone do it myself! Madam Glam Soak-Off gel polish is a 3 step gel polish, so you will need the base, color and top gels. I got the cutest baby pink color ever called Angel Wings♥ According to Madam Glam you can use any UV or LED lamp to cure; cure times are 2 minutes for UV and 30 seconds for LED. I got an UV lamp with my set so my cure time was 30 seconds. The lamp switches off after 30 seconds so you'll cure the gel for the right amount of time!

Application: Application of these polishes is an absolute dream! The base gel is very easy to work with, it goes on thin and smooth. Since I have false nails and I apply them myself, sometimes the transition of my false nail onto my natural nail is visible when wearing normal nailpolish. When I applied the bsae coat the surface of my nails was soooo smooth! The gel color itself is a little thicker but also applies smooth and easily. Go for a thin coat, as on the first nail I didn't and it did not fully dry.  The top coat is like a thicker version of the base gel, it goes on very smooth and glossy and it is the shiny finishing touch to your gel nails. Unlike some random gel nailpolishes, this topcoar dries to a hard and shiny finish! I noticed that it really keeps my false nails in place!

Removal: The gel polish should be able to stay on for up to 4 weeks, but as I wanted to do a full review, I removed the gel after a week to try and see how that goes. I roughed up the surface of my nails to break the seal and then used acetone for removal.  After 10 minutes of soaking it was easy to push the gel polish off! I forgot to take pictures of the removal process, but it was super easy:)
