2 /5 Samantha Noles: I paid $87 plus tip for French manicure on my own, short nails, and a pedicure with gel polish. I was pushed to go with gel polish on both after saying no several times because she was so insistent on my doing so. She guaranteed they would last 2 weeks. Its been 2 days and the gel polish on my nails has already started cracking and the white tips have started rubbing off.
