Had to get glammed up for a destination wedding in the Caribbean and I had 2 broken toenails from kick boxing class...yes I realize you are not suppsoed to kick with your toes, but you try 60 seconds of roundhouse kicks against a body opponent bag and see if you're always accurate! Ok...I digress.
It was a Friday afternoon. I made an apt earlier that day with no problems. The salon was busy so glad I made the apt. There were a couple of walk-ins that had to wait. The salon was also bright and clean.
I opted to get fake tips to fix my broken nails and a shellac Mani and Pedi to survive a weeklong beach vacation.
Both nail technicians that worked on my hands and feet were amazing. They took their time and it looked great. And, it lasted the entire week and some. I was in the water a lot too. My cousin who went elsewhere had her shellac Mani peeling by the end of the week. Mine still looked great 2 weeks after I had it done. I had to take it off though because my nails were growing out. I've never had shellac nails done before so had no idea how to take it off. I thought I had to go back, but the nail technician was nice enough to tell me that I can do it myself at home. I did take off the Mani myself but it wasn't easy...and left my nails a bit dry and brittle. Will go back to remove the pedi.
My shellac pedi still looks great 3 weeks later though! Plus you can't even tell I've got 2 fake nails.
