I can’t describe how well my nails hold, I used to do them myself with normal polish, but I started having less time as work became busier. So started doing gel. I have no problem keeping this on my nails for 6 weeks, the only thing is my nails grow fast so it’s noticeable at the base. Hence I do them about once a month. I get soooo many compliments, despite being outgrown now, everyone still asks me where I get them done. Highly recommend !!
