Morning ladies. I've been growing my nails out for about 5-6 weeks and it was all going great until last week. They were long, strong, and pretty and I planned on getting a shellac manicure for the wedding. Last week, they ALL started to chip and break and are now pretty short. There's no way they'll be grown out as much as I was hoping by my nail appointment next Thursday.
So, my options are to keep them short and still get a shellac manicure, or to get gel nails put on. I love the look of gel nails on other people, but I'm seriously worried about what they'll do to my nails. It isn't something I'll be maintaining - once they're off, I won't be getting another set. I've read all kinds of stuff about how your nails are super sensitive to cleaning products after they're removed, the gel contains chemicals that can cause dermatitis in some individuals (which I already get on my fingers from something but I don't know what), etc. All the horror stories, KWIM? And then there's the issue of getting the darn things off. Is it hard? I would want to get rid of the nails within a week or two or having them.
I need to make my nail appointment today. Please help me choose what to do, as manicures are really not something I'm used to debating in my day to day life. HELP!
