Agree with kate. I always sit at least 15 minutes and then usually don’t have a problem! A buff would also look great and give you an extra shine! I’d definitely go for clean looking nails/cuticles and shine.
The husband likes pedicures and gets his toes buffed and LOVES it.
@TheHizzy If you have nice nails, I wouldn’t sweat it. I have nice nails: long nail beds, they can grow long without getting brittle, my cuticles look nice without help, they don’t peel and I don’t bite them, etc. I get compliments on them even when I’m not wearing nail polish or actively trying to get them to look nice. So if you generally have healthy nails, I wouldn’t worry too much. Just file ’em nicely.

They are quite expensive, and while you might be able to stretch it to four weeks, you’re supposed to get them filled every three. It’s a lot of upkeep. They do look amazing though.
If you’re going to get them for a wedding, definitely get them fully done 6 weeks in advance, then filled once 3 weeks before and once closer to. According to my husband, if you’re going to have an allergic reaction to the glue it’ll happen on your second exposure. And you can also still get puffy eyelids as a reaction even if you’re not allergic if your eyes are particularly dry, which is what happened to me last time. He said to help prevent that you can take omega 3’s for a few weeks beforehand (which is also just good for dry eyes).
Personally I think you can get almost the same look with false lashes that you glue on, but that’s all personal preference (and extensions definitely look more like they’re your real lashes). Most place that do extensions will also glue on fake lashes for you for $10ish, or ulta or Sephora. Or my hairdresser has done them for me before too!
I did the gel dip nails. I wasn’t a fan; the thickness reminded me of acrylics. That was at a salon I was just testing out though; maybe I should try it again?
Regular gelish manicures are a weakness though. I dont wear a lot of makeup (Like, its a good day when I remember my moisturizer AND lipstick) but I love having feminine looking hands.Ugh, I wish! I haven’t found one that like tightens up the damn bags under my eyes. But if you have dry skin and just want to look more smooth and wrinkle free, this Kiehls one is good…
