Went to a nail salon close to where I work for gels...they were thick, uneven and the lack of quality just may have been due to the manicurist taking calls while she was doing my nails. A friend whose nails always look really nice recommended Yen at Etch. WOW! Like night and day. Of course the fill was more expensice $45, but this is DEFINITELY a case of you get what you pay for. They look so natural - great color, shape, length - AND THEY'RE THIN AND EVEN!!!! adn let me just add this - she did all this in a shorter time than normal because I had booked an appointment for something else. Really good job - and I wasn't exhausted from too much chatting. Sometimes I just want to relax. No problem here! Oh, and she also does color gels (and pedicures, which I will try next!).
