The guy who had me was very fast. I had shellac done and he pretty much finished in 15 minutes. I wished he took his time a bit slower because the end result wasn't the best. Perhaps it's because he had to do 4 layers of nail polish which caused some bubbles at the bottom of my nail. I don't really know but I wasn't too impressed with my nails by the end of it. Overall it looked decent but if you look closely there are some imperfections. If you just get colour done its $20 shellac (they still file your nail)
