When we were in SC two and a half weeks ago, Jenny and I got pedicures and I opted to get a gel manicure as well. The nail tech assured me the gel would last for two to three weeks. I decided to gamble my $20 and see what happened.
I can’t remember when the first two nails (pointer and pinkie on my left hand) started peeling, but I think it was around Day 9. From that point through Day 14, at least one nail per day was peeling. By this Sunday, 15 days after the manicure, I had two nails – my thumbs – still looking fine, and one pointer mostly intact and a middle finger with half the gel polish remaining.
So was the manicure worth $20? Nah. I really liked it while it was fresh, but since it really only lasted a week and then it kinda messed up my nails by either leaving some residue behind or peeling up some of the actual nail (I hope it was the former), I think I’m better off saving my money and painting the clear polish on myself.
Happy Hump Day!
