I went to an around the way shop and I know she didn't use shellac, I've had one nail done using shellac before and it lasted for MONTHS with no need to redo; however it was another name brand that I cannot recall and do not want to disclose the wrong name.
Anywho I got it done and was in love with the shine and how my nails felt protected. What I didn't like is how I got talked into getting only partial color on my nails. I mean the selling points were great ( as your nails grow you won't be able to tell as much with the clear gel on the bottom and color only on the tips) but I probably wouldn't pick a purple French manicure. I would more than likely just go with all clear or a clear base with some glitter instead.
What perplexes me is with gel I was under the impression that my mani would last longer but the truth of the matter is after a week the bottom began to lift. Where gel remains its still shiny, and I am pleased that my nail tips are still protected but yeah the fact that there was lifting after a week left me feeling some type of way.
I will continue to do the gel manicure but maybe opt for a different brand next time.
Have you tried gel manicures or pedicures? How was your experience?
