And best part is I still have a good week or 2 before I have to go back (due to nail growth) I have not personally had the gel removed from my nail but I have a friend who did and her nail was still beautiful and strong. Just go to the salon where you got them done and have them remove it, since they are trained to do so.

I am now officially addicted to Gel Nails! Mine even change colors 🙂

It says you had removed them after three weeks, but you’re supposed to get them removed after 7-14 days. I think that’s why you got nail fungus.

You can’t peel them off yourself. That’s why that happened to your nail. You must get a piece of cotton ball, but pure acetone on it and with aluminum foil wrap around the nail. Then it literally peels off, leaving your nails perfect.

After much research decided to got ahead. The process was fantastic, and they look fab. Being a bloke I obviously decided to have a clear application of the gel polish, and my nails are now stronger feeling.

I originally thought that this was for you girls, but my manacurisist told me that loads of men have this done for similar reason. I’m told it very hard wearing.

Get them done properly by a recommended salon.
The gel itself isn’t to blame for chipping or peeling – the application process is just as important.
As for allergic reactions…I’m sure a reputable salon will allow you to have a small amount applied to 1 nail as a test before committing to having them done completely if you are concerned.

It was the first time as I usually do my own nail painting. My nails are very strong thankfully but I hate having to repaint them constantly because of chipping. The gel manicure looked okay, not great though, but by the next day two nails had already started peeling off. I’d paid £40 at the Opi nail salon in Manchester airport for them! To make matters worse, I broke out in an angry red rash on my face and neck which then became hard, scaly and extremely dry. It feels like a chemical burn and has been so tight and painful. Getting these gel nails is definitely responsible and I’m obviously allergic to the formaldehyde. The nails had all peeled off within three days but I’m still struggling with the skin problems and have to use hydrocortisone cream on my face which comes with it’s own issues. Never ever again!

I have tyres many different things to make them stronger but I have not found one that has worked yet. I have read some bad and good reviews and am still not sure. I want something that will last and harden my nails so they don’t brake. I have been looking at getting acrylic nails for a while but I don’t want them to damage my nails. Recently I have been looking into gel nails and reading reviews. I understand that where you get them done is a very big part of it not chipping and braking but I am worried about the UV light that drys them. Please someone help!

I’m so glad you made the clarification. I don’t like reading comments or blogs because of the terrible spelling, syntax and wrong choice of words as in this case. Sometimes this alone is a bit entertaining!
