Gel nail paint is overrated: Ashley Tisdale

Los Angeles

"I'd say that gel nail polish gel is overrated and regular nail polish is underrated. Everyone is all about gel, but it's actually unhealthy for you with all the UV rays hitting your skin. Plus, it's such a process trying to remove them," Tisdale told eonline.com.

The 30-year-old goes for a "beachy, bronzy look" for her everyday make-up, she is "torn between" blusher or bronzer.

She shared: "I love the beachy, bronzy look with a good cat eye. I'm so torn between the two (blusher or bronzer), but I'd have to say bronzer. You can get away with just bronzer, but you can't do just blush. I like to bronze it up!

When it comes to her lip colour, Tisdale prefers a peachy colour for the day or a bold tone if she's running out of time to do her full routine.

"It all really depends. Coral, peachy lip glosses are perfect for the day, which is why I added those colours to my Illuminate collection. When I'm short on time and in a rush, I'll add a quick touch of mascara and a bold dark lip, which easily sophisticates a wardrobe," she said.
