Unfortunately, this was a real disappointing visit to a salon that I've visited a few times before. The lady didn't prep my cuticles or put the polish down to the bottom of the nail so they looked like they were growing out from day one. When I asked her to put some of the colour I chose on to my nail to see how it looked against my skin tone, she laughed saying that it would look the same as the sample. After only 5 days I had to remove the gel polish as they had chipped and looked as though they had been on about 3 weeks.
