There were a few things that I wasn't too happy with during this experience. The lady who did my nails didn't speak English (or VERY limited) so that was tricky, the atmosphere wasn't great - it wasn't a particularly luxurious setting (dark, downstairs). Most importantly, my nails aren't great - quite bumpy and not particularly carefully done I'm afraid to say - not sure they will last 2 weeks. The manicure pre Shellac was thorough though.
