My name is Stephanie, and I’m a gel manicure addict. The allure of mirror-like shine, clicky-thick texture, and chip-proof staying power is hard to resist.
Gel manicures, Shellac and BIAB nails have become de rigueur for those wanting elegant, groomed nails that they can forget about for two or three weeks at a time. Recently, though, I’ve been reconsidering my position. The cost of living crisis has certainly impacted my trips to the salon - my appointment is now pushing £45, and that’s before you add on removal, nail art or a French tip.
