| - I used to frequent Wonder Nails monthly for gel tips, but haven't been for a year or so. I stopped in for a new Shellac manicure after they advertised a great price. Sadly, I got what I paid for.
The application was terrible, and when I pointed out that several nails were very flawed, she either shook her head that it was fine, or told me it was my fault - that I must have bumped it. In the end, she would only replace one nail and simply applied another coat of color or topcoat to the others saying that "Shellac is hard to apply".
Before I left, I pointed out that several of my nails felt soft, to which she - the owner - disagreed. Unfortunately she was wrong; by the time I got home, I had already chipped one nail and, several hours later - because she hadn't cured the gel properly - my manicure was still soft and damanged easily.
I've had a Shellac manicure before and they're beautiful - long-lasting, clean and nearly impenetrable. If you're looking for a fantastic Shellac manicure, stay far away from Wonder Nails and check out Fortune Nails at 13th Street and 12th Ave downtown. It costs $10 more but their color selection is more than triple that of Wonder, their staff is friendly and professional, and their Shellac manicure lasted three weeks.
