I want my nails done for my wedding. I work as a goldsmith so my natural nails are in terrible shape, no matter how hard I try to keep them looking half decent. My problem is, I am horribly allergic to acrylic. I've heard of gel nails, but isn't that just a polish they put on to make them shinnier or something? I am looking for nails that are going to last 5-7 days without acrylic. Any thoughts?
