Gel nails

I got gel nails in Friday, and I love them!! I got french manicure, and not too short or long, and my nails look so pretty and natural!! First I thought its hard to do stuff with them, but now I have used to them and they feel like my own nails. Bad side is then price.. here they cost 80-100 euros first time, and when u go to maintenance like every 4 weeks it costs 40-60 euros…and then time is another bad side, it takes 1,5-2,5hours to put them, and usually maintenance is about same :smiley:
Im lucky that I have friend who does gel nails so I got almost free, but I have thought that do I have time to go maintenance every 4 week and sit there 2,5hours, but well now im so in love that I would sit 4 hours because of my nails:D Thats so vain, i know. But lets see after couple months : D
Does anyone else have gel nails? or acrylic nails? Do u like them?

Re: Gel nails

I have been thinking getting gel or acrylic nails, but then price is little high...is it worth it? And is gel better than acrylic? Show some pics, please! :)

Re: Gel nails

Acrylic nails are dirt cheap in london.. 15 £ for first time and cheaper the next... i just had it once, loved them, but then never went for maintanance so they became uglier as my nails grew... also u cant pray with these nails on..

Re: Gel nails

Where is a good place to get them done in London?

Re: Gel nails

Acrylic nails are cheap in Houston too... It is $15, and $18 if you add a design on them...
If you get Solar.. its $25
but depends where u get them done from.
I hate taking them off because my nails become fragile. I get them every once in a while only on special occasional
in cosmetology, I learned that ur not supposed to have them done all the time.. they need to be relaxed.
