Hi Kim, I know I said this when I was there but I wanted to put it here too. I was a bit apprehensive about getting nails as you were a fair distance (I'm in Pemby) and I work in retail so I figured they wouldn't last long, but when you said you could put a layer of gel over them so I can change my polish I had to try! And I wasn't disappointed. I went back for a refill after 3 weeks and that's only because the growth line was annoying me as I am sure I could have waited anot...her week at least, but my nails were not chipped and even around the cuticle line it was smooth and not all flaky and ragged looking like ones I have had done in Perth. And this was after I had changed my polish 2-3 times a week!!!!! Even my heavy glitter polishes didn't affect the acrylic nail underneath, admittedly they took more work getting the polish off as I cant use acetone, but I can live with that! Thanks Kim :) See More Read Less
