Review (5/5): The best mainure on the universe
I can't rave about them enough. I was apprehensive to try them but once I took the plunge I felt like it was the best kept secret I was denied all the years I did manicures. First of all they have tons of choices of shapes for nails so I can get at least 2 manicures out of it so pricewise you just can't match this anywhere. Also, since the manicure is predone its absaluetely perfect. Another bonus, I have a hard time growing my nails long enough to make a good length since my nail beds are short, my nails chip easily so I'm always filing them down. This allows me to wear the gel nail longer than my actual nail without the inconvenience of it being messy inside the nail. I just remove the dried up glue part a day or so after application and my nails wash clean all week. All I have to do is prepare my nails, chose the correct fit, and stick them on. I'v learned that the best way to do it is staring at it from the front of hand so you get a good angle. As opposed to folding your fingers onto your palm and turning them towards you. Somehow that method doesn't work out perfectly straight. Mine last about 8-10 days. You know when to remove them when you run your nails through your hair and the hair gets caught in the bottom of nail bed. You simply take a wooden cutical pusher and gently slip it under the gel nail and slowly push the glue- which feels like a glue dot- upwards to wards the tip of nail. Do not pull it off. Because when I did it created scales on my nails like it was stressed or might break. Be patient it really only takes 5 minutes total. The Nails underneath should be undamaged. I now can grow my nails much longer because anything that my nails knock into are first protected by the gel. I do my normal house work. Although I almost always use gloves before washing dishes. I get so many compliments! All of a sudden I have stunning French manicures all the time. It looks high maintenance but the best beauty secrets are simple!
