I went in for a gel French manicure for my wedding the following day to ensure no chipping for my big day. Was talked OUT of gel to get dazzle or razzle (the only brand of polish they carry other than gel) and I was guaranteed that it is almost like gel and that it does not chip- it would just fade. Well, it chipped the morning of my wedding on several nails- and not just the pinkish part, the white lines were chipped off of the edges. Needless to say, I was furious. Since then, each day my manicure (which cost as much as a gel manicure in any regular nail salon) has chipped more and more, now on my honeymoon. Ladies, if you want your manicure to last, DO NOT let them talk you into getting anything else except gel!!
