2 /5 Kai: I don’t think they put a top coat on my nails. It looked strange but I thought it would dry to normal. The white tips are very thick on some fingers and next day the “top coat” is bubbling and peeling off. I didn’t realize until halfway through they were using USED emery boards and buffers which is a huge sanitation issue. They are very kind and accommodating but a $32 ($39 with tip) manicure should last longer than 24 hours.
Edit: It’s been 24 hours and my nails are peeling off (this is regular polish, not gel). I have a wedding to attend tomorrow and I will have to repaint my nails in the morning :(
