The lady twinkle who did my gel nail manicure was so lovely and they lasted 2weeks. However the only reason for the 3 star was the standard of the polish they were using in the salon which was bluesky polish which you could get off eBay for about £5.00. Normally you would have more of a premium brand. I usually get my nails done nearby and thought I would give this a try which was a nice find.
