It takes me about 45 minutes to an hour w/ gel polish and about an hour to
an hour and 15 w/ gel from a pot. It depends on what shape my clients hands

I have noticed the thinner or weaker the nails are the product doesn't wear as
well. I have moved some of my clients back to regular mani's and pedi's. Only
doing gel occasionally.
They appreciate the honesty and my integrity of caring for their nails.

BUT, I am having clients come that went somewhere while I was out with the
