So after much debate I decided to have my pink and whites which I've been wearing for 5 years taken off today. My nails were so weak I decided to get a gel manicure because my sister swears by them. How long do they usually last? Can I do dishes and everything with them? Will they ruin my nails even more or will they grow back healthier. Sorry for all the questions but I'm second guessing my decision and it's only been 4 hours. On a side note- it looks so weird to have painted nails.
