Gel mani/pedi

CD2011

Anyone ever had it done?? It's supposed to last up to 3 weeks, which would be nice because then my polish won't be chipping off on our honeymoon! I just wonder how it affects your nails afterwards, like if it's hard to get off and ruins your nails.

There's a deal going on for $35, which is an awesome deal. I won't be able to get french tips like I wanted to because they only do solid colors, but it might be worth it??

Can't decide if I should take a risk and go for it, or just shell out the cash for a regular mani/pedi somewhere else

I only get gel mani's....  hate acrylic nails.  They do last a long time and are a bit healthier.  I go to the nail place in Shoppingtown mall to Sonny... love him!!  I can't remember the price, but I think it's about $50.  Never had a gel pedi.

ETA:  They use a light pink gel over the white tips... which looks super natural and beautiful.  I never get the white tips painted on top.... I didn't on my wedding day either and they looked great!

I decided to just go for it. I'm sure people aren't going to be like, OMG can't believe she didn't get a french manicure. My nails are really long, so hopefully this helps them to not break so easy.

If anyone's interested use the link below ... $35 (usually $80) Karma in Liverpool

You can definitely get them off yourself (don't pay extra for it).  File them way down with a buffing block until they're not shiny anymore and then soak them in 100% acetone (from the hardware store - not nailpolish remover).  They chip/ flake off with an orange stick after about 10/15 minutes.

My nails had a ridge in them until they grew out, but it really wasn't that bad.  Not NEARLY as bad as after an acrylic manicure.  Two thumbs up - they're awesome.

Make sure you get a recommendation.  I've been to one tech who was fabulous, and my nails lasted for like 2 and a half weeks.  I've also been to another tech who was terrible and they started chipping off after 2 days!

I have acrylics right now and want the gel so bad, but I dont want to have to break off the acrylics and wait to have the gel done.

I would def suggest doing it.

And i dont believe the pedi is with gel nails...its just a pedi
