    A gorgeous pack with great instructions

    I love this look and I was really excited to try it out. I'm pretty new to gels and still getting the hang of them, but I just followed the guide on the site and they turned out perfectly!

    These are going into regular rotation for me. Plus they're beautiful shades I would wear independently.
