1 /5 Christina Henry: I was referred to Cindy’s by a local while I was on my birthday trip last week. My nails grow pretty fast but I usually can keep a gel manicure for 2 weeks before I need to take them off. My gel manicure from Cindy’s lasted about 5 days before I noticed air bubbles. Today, day 7, two nails came off. While they looked really nice for the first few days, that was probably the worst quality gel manicure I’ve ever gotten. When your regular pedicure lasts longer than a gel manicure, you’ve got a serious quality problem.
