I had a classic manicure. I was disappointed that there was a very small choice of nail colours (only 4 in total) - my therapist explained that if I wanted a shellac manicure I could have a bigger selection. Luckily they had a nice red colour that I was happy with. She did a really good job of filing my nails and tidying my cuticles up before painting them carefully. The one thing I expected with a classic manicure but didn't get was for my hands to be soaked in a little bowl of water to soften the cuticles (etc) at the beginning. I was still very pleased with the result though. The mani lasted nearly 6 days before chipping, which is great as I am quite hard on my hands.
