I had a gel manicure and the kindest I can say about the experience would be 'slap-dash'. The technician who did my nails seemed hung over and disinterested. She also did a bit of a shoddy job too - when I left the salon & got into the daylight I found I had gel polish on my fingers & glue everywhere! I had to scrub for ages with remover when I got home just to try and tidy them up! Not good - I will be going back to my usual salon in future.
