My First Gel Manicure

The beginning

I got a gel manicure as a pre-university treat I believe on the 11th of this month . I really love it. I have the color Wooden Shoes in OPI Gel Polish. I usually don't go for a brown color, but it was pretty because it had a hint of sparkle. I was hoping to get a more mauve color polish, but my manicurist didn't have the color I was looking for. But this brown color is quite lovely. You can never go wrong with a brown polish. 

The odd thing was that two nails chipped about two or three days after I got them done. However after about 5 days, I was able to get in contact with my manicurist so that she could fix them for me. I love my manicurist, she is very lovely. I will miss her when my family and I move to the West Coast. Even though they chipped and I got them fixed, they last very well when I am riding. They don't chip or anything. But I do wear gloves the whole time I am at the barn.

Now.

This is my nails today, still as lovely as they were when I got them done and fixed. I can't wait till my three weeks are up. It should be done around my birthday which is when I will give myself a new gel manicure as a birthday treat. It's not a bad price where I get them done, I pay $25 for a gel manicure. 

I do recommend gel manicures because you can go three weeks without major chips because the polish is sturdier than normal polish, just make sure than your manicurist cleans her tools.
