it was all ok. the beautician cut my cuticle very well. I had a shellac pedicure. the only thing I didn't like was when my feet were being scrubbed I had to hold my foot up for them to do it. I wasn't given a foot rest to hold my ankle as most nail salons do, as they scrub.
There are lots of gel polish brands and not all of them are good quality so be careful what you choose. It's very misleading as they said all of them are OPI or Shellac - they are not! My nails started chipping and peeling 6 days later! What's the point in paying so much money for that?
