I'm new to the mani pedi thing. I think I've only had them 3 times in my life. I received a mani/pedi here and the service was excellent. Spot on. Leg massage was wonderful. i garden and have two children so I expected this to last only 3-5 days. But all I did was pack a few bags and sit in the car for the next 12 hours and really tried to "baby" it. My finger nails (French tip) were messed up by day one. By day 2/3 it looked so ridiculous I had to remove it all. And this was some tough stuff. I couldn't get it off with polish remover. Had to file down for over an hour just to get the white part off. At least the clear coat is less noticeable. Maybe it's just me??? I read online that soaking the nails prior can cause it to not stick as well. Maybe this is what happened because they had me soak my nails prior. Toe nails aren't perfect either. They could've done a better job on those but they're acceptable from a distance view.
