I have heard so many great reviews on gel nail manicures so I decided to try it out for my self!
My local salon does CND Shellac manis and I ended up not loving this :( I had very high hopes but the nail polish came out much thinner than I thought, its very sheer and after 24 hours I have a few nail chipping on my right hand... big waste of $30 bucks. It was base-coat, uv, color, uv, color, uv, topcoat, uv and than lots of alcohol to get the sticky residue gone. I am hoping to have it last until the end of the week but who knows..

With my birthday jewels! I may try another place some time in the future but who knows..
Heres the outcome.
