Ok after about 10 days this manicure starting to bother me. But that's typical for me even with the professional salon Gel, or Shellac manicures. My nails grow fast. I can't believe how fast they grow sometimes. And once they grow, the polish starts to peel away from the cuticle bed and drives me nuts!!
I also find that if my nail is a slight bit cracked anywhere once the polish hits the 10 day mark it seems to make the crack/chip even worst.
And the Red Carpet UV manicure was no different! I am very impressed with how well the manicure held up. I don't think there was a huge difference in this kit compared to that of a professional salon manicure. I know that if I had done a better job in the first place that it would have probably looked better and maybe even lasted longer. That is just a learning curve :)
So let's talk about the removal process................
I have no pics of that!! LOL
I bought the foil strips because I thought it would be easier and they are still on sale at London Drugs.
First I filed down the top of the nail color slightly to help loosen the polish. Then I soaked the cotton pad part with the "Erase" removal provided in the kit.
and then I wrapped the foil around my fingers (this is why there is no pics!) LOL. But you get the picture. A lot like what they do at the salon. Leave it on for 10 mins. And then scrape with an Orange stick. A lot of it was already off. And didn't take a huge effort to remove. Some of it was harder to get off and I found it easier to use my thumb to scrape it off. All in all it was fair process to remove.
I highly recommend this product and in fact I even went back to the store and purchased some more colors!!!
