Hey guys!! So I really wanted a design this time so I decided to try out gel as I have heard good things about it.
They paint your nails with gel polish and put them under a UV light multiple times to harden and dry.
It takes a little while, but it's not too bad. Still only like 20-30 minutes to finish.
This is week one and as you can see they look very nice. It's a pretty design and it looks more like normal nail polish as it doesn't really add layers.
Week one was good, no chips or anything.
Here is week 2. From afar they still look pretty good, you can't see any major issues which I am happy with.
However, Saturday morning I chipped one trying to open some makeup so these do not stand up to things and help my nails with strength at all.
A couple days later I was opening my car door and my hand slipped because it was raining and I hit my nails. A tiny piece of my nail chipped off, leaving gel behind. So the gel held up, but somehow my nail was still chipped.
Overall I like the initial look of this, but so far I am not really more impressed with this than normal polish.
A few days later on week 2, I literally had the entire nail polish on 1 finger peel off. I had to try and quickly match the color as I was leaving and ended up removing it all when I got home.
Honestly I'm not sure if it was done wrong or not, but I probably won't get gel at this salon again, I have had just as much luck with normal polish as that. I would try it again, just somewhere else.
For now I am letting my nails recover, but will likely get them done again soon. Either in normal polish or sns. :)
