Has anyone gotten these done? I'm not really into tips, so I'd like something else for my wedding day and even my engagement party. Do you recommend UV nails?
Is this the gel manicure on your regular nails? Because this is what I get and I LOVE it!!
i have the gel nails and they put on a coal of gel and then put my nails under a UV light. i got them for my shower and plan on keeping them through my friends wedding in april. i LOVE them.
I had them for a while and I really liked them, but I had to get rid of them for work. When I took them off, my nails were as thin as paper and it took months of nail strengthener and cuticle oil to get them back. They are not really good for a few days. They become expensive to keep up with.

is it better or worse then when you take off acrylic tips? cuz i kno nails are gross for months after that]
Yea, the gel manicure.
I love them...but there is an upkeep to it...I usually go every 2 weeks...sometimes I can go for 3 weeks...but I love the way they look and I always get complimented on them
It was about the same. I was told you can't soak them off, they had to be filed off. I pretty much pulled them off. I guess if you had them file them down they could leave a bit so it won't be just as bad, but I had to get rid of it completely. Can't even wear nailpolish to work.

I'm confused about this, I thought it was just like really hard nail polish that you have to soak off? I was all set to do this for my wedding but if it ruins your nails then I definitely won't! I have nice strong nails (people ask if they're fake all the time) and I really don't want to ruin them! I'm so disappointed to hear that they ruin your real nails![]()
All that stuff ruons your nails whether its acrylic, gel, or silk but I still do it anyway bc I love the way it looks too much. Plus it ruins the nails that its glued too but once your nails grow out they're fine again
I ****** it up and got UV gel nails about 2 months ago and love them. My own nails are terrible even after getting weekly manicure so I decided with the wedding coming up to get and get use to them. I also can't deal with my nails chipping the day of the wedding. I would freak if my nails chipped that morning..LOL! The plus to UV, no sitting under the dryers if you get permanent french.
I LOVE the look of UV nails....Especially since I always have french. But the only thing that's holding me back from switching is that UV is so much more expensive. So, a gel-powder girl I will stay!
