The finished product was gorgeous. My fav tech, Ann, had another tech get started which she kindly explained beforehand. Ann ended up taking my nails off giving me a new full gel set bc frankly it was time. Later that night my nails throbbed which I hadn't felt in years. It did stop & they were only sore. I think all the filing they both did was far too much for my nail bed. Ann told me it's best I make an appt so she could solely do my nails but I didn't know that. I'm hoping this was a one time issue.
