Just got these done, so I cant comment on longevity yet. I had a shellac manicure done and used a groupon. I paid an extra $5 to get some gems. Im happy with my experience and the result! The girl wasnt very chatty, but she was detail oriented and does great work. Which is great because I can be picky if things look off. I asked her not to use the dremmel to prep my nails and she respected that. Did a nice job filing and when I asked for things a little shorter she got it just the way I liked it. She made no mess on my skin with the polish. I think it looks really nice. If it lasts three weeks, Ill be a repeat customer!!
*update* The next day one gem had come off. I went in, they looked at it, fixed it on the spot. Its been a few days since, even gone swimming. All gems still on there strong! Good service! Would recommend.
