I should have got shellac, this is my first time with no shellac and it was ruined as soon as i got home. My french manicure was a little bit uneven in terms of how the nails were shaped. My toes were nicely done but werent fully dried so they smudged which is my own fault ( wouldnt have happened with shellac). Generally I love the salon and i would come back again but i will always get shellac and show a picture of what i want next time so that the technicians have the right idea. My first experience was on point but I just made the wrong choice the 2nd time. Third time lucky!
