These are all so pretty. I do so much around the house that my nails won’t grow long enough for polish. I don’t like polish on very short nails. But if I did have long ones, I would surely try some of these.
Me and my mom tried to do the bow nails and they turned out alright. I could never do them on myself, its to detailed. A lot of the bows came out warped and weird but they’re still super cute! 😀
I’m sorry you had such a negative experience. Sounds to me like you did not go to someone that is experienced in the proper technique. Several people I know have either gel or shellac, with none of these issues. As they say you get what you pay for, I have found the cheaper nail salons are not satisfactory. And they also cause a lot of clients to have fungus problems because they do not santize correctly or use seperate implements for each customer.
I feel like I need to do a public service announcement against gel or shellac nails! I had them and they looked great for almost 10 days! Then they started to show their growth and wear. They nail polish cracked and so did the nail underneath. I went back to the salon where I had them done and it took over 45 minutes to get the polish off! My nails are damaged with gouges in them. All I can do is wait now for the damage to grow out. 10 days of pretty polish is not worth 3 months of ugly nails!
