| - I just came back here on a recent visit and I was somewhat disappointed. Let me start by saying I think Gina is fantastic. She is the ultimate when it comes to designs. If all you are interested in is a fabulous, unique, design that you probably can't get elsewhere, than this is the place for you. BUT... the quality of the gel mani itself has gone down. Way down. I was disappointed for so many reasons. My design was nice though. First, i came in with existing gel polish. I guess the way they do things here is to not remove your old gel polish? To me, that's odd. They just file down as much as they can. I've never heard that before. It's odd to me and it's sloppy and when you put the new polish on, the new polish puts on another layer, which makes your nails look thick, and then not smooth. Which is how mine looked - lumpy. But because there is glitter and stones and what not, hard to see the lumps but I could see it. And then, the peeling starts because your new gel mani is not sitting on fresh primed nails. My gel mani didn't last even a week before the corners started peeling. By then, I was back in LA so I couldn't go back to get it fixed. Secondly, I told Gina before we started that one of my nails had broken and that I had crazy glued it. I pointed it out and thought she would fix it before doing anything. Nope. She filed that nail along with the rest of them and put the gel polish on top like the rest. No additional glue, nothing. The minute I got back to my friend's house, it was already cracked. Lastly, I reiterate, I think she's a nice lady, and very talented, but, also very distracted. She did one nail, walked away. Did another two nails, walked away. Did a couple of more nails, walked away. That's how it went until my nails were done. It's pretty frustrating. I'm not sure if it was just an off day but for me, when I pay this much money to get my nails done, this is not the quality I like.
