Mine normally lasts much longer than that and I do it myself. I give myself a good foot scrub, push back cuticles, shape and buff with one of those smoother/buffer files. I then do base coat, 2 layers of varnish (sometimes 3 on big toe) then finish with a gel top coat. I would take the nail varnish with you so you can just top up any chips.

Like the above PP I've always done my own. I'm currently using Sally Hansen Crayola Insta-Dry colour on my toes and two coats last for weeks.

Thanks I've got a colour so will get a gel top clear and take both with.

I was really spoiled when I lived overseas with amazing pampering mani/pedis at a fraction of the price. I'd never pay for a treatment here again. It is a total rip off.

There is that, it's over £30 in my salon!

You can buy a home gel kit for not much more than that!
