I went in a few years ago for a French on my natural nails. I would do my own French pretty well but I wanted to go to a salon to have it even neater for the occasion and so I didn't have to spend a lot of time doing them myself. The guy used such a sheer color as the base and didn't really even shape my nails. The thin white lines were not very neat and I could have and should have actually done my own at that point. It was chipping hours after getting it done and by the next day for prom they didn't look good at all.
