...how long does it last before chipping (on fingernails not toes)?
...how do you get it off?
...does it ruin your real nails?

Am fancying some glitzy xmas nails but I had fake ones put on before years ago and my poor real nails were paper thin after so i'm a bit wary Confused

Personally i didn't like it, had it on my toes, had lots of comments but found it a bit tacky like tinfoil, nails were fine after although it didn't last that long sort of rolled up at the ends. Much rather bio gel.

I had minx nails done on my toes in the summer.
It's a foil that is heated and smoothed onto your nail, so won't chip iyswim.

To remove, you just peel it off.

Won't last as long on your fingernails as it does on toes because you are washing hands more

I had Gelish nails done on my fingers

This is applied in a thin layer and cured under uv light. Built up in layers to get a really glossy finish.

Lasted me for about 4/5 weeks

Soaks off with acetone, lots of videos on YouTube explain, or get beautician to tell you how.
