How long should gel nails last?

[SillyBlueHat]

I had gel done on my toes and thought they would last longer than 3 weeks - one has just fallen off. Is 3 weeks about right or do they usually last longer?
I swim 5 times a week so maybe that has made a difference

Hi my finger nails last 2/3 weeks max toes usually last quite a bit longer normally get them re-done due too growth, rather than colour coming off.

Mine last until they grow off, up to 8 weeks and they look a bit skanky as too long and growing off!

I would guess the chemicals in the swimming pool aren't great for gels.

My local salon advises 2weeks

I find they last no more than a fortnight, but my own nails are shit so there isn't a good base for them to start with.
