I had a great experience at Znips. My old shellac was removed correctly with cotton soaked and my finger tips wrapped up. The lady had a great knowledge of nail gels and explained to me that not all gel's are shellac and how some brands may last longer than others. She did a great job of cleaning up my nails and the paint was perfect!
I went to Livia for a gel removal and Shellac polish. She did an excellent job, the gel polish (which she hadn't applied) was very difficult to remove but she managed to it all off. The Shellac polish was carefully and quickly applied. She is a lovely fun person. I will definitely go to her again.
