On the surface, I have textbook perfect nails. I have received a gel manicure every ten days, like clockwork, for the past eleven years. I try not to think about how much money I’ve spent (chances are, enough for a downpayment on a car) and take comfort in knowing my nails are cuticle-free and a perfect bubble bath pink.
But, beneath my three layers of gel polish lies a scary situation. My nails are, candidly, destroyed. They’re brittle and flaking in a way that no nail strengthener can salvage. It's my fault; I have a bad habit of picking off my gel. My nails are reaching the point of no return, so for the first time in a long time, I'm willing to try something new to save them: Olive & June’s Gel Mani System.
