Went with my mom to get regular manicures, not gel. They put it on so thick that mine started to dry with ripples from the fan.. so I had to have her redo one of my nails twice before it looked decent. I think she just didn't notice the first time so that was no biggie. But my moms are completely ruined. It's been three hours and they are still denting from minor activity and even peeling off. If you do nails for a living then you ought to know not to put it on so thick that three hours later they're still not dry. I'm sure they normally do it well and were just having an off day.
