I like my nails short, but I like it done. I don't do a great job and rarely have it done because it comes off so quickly. I only recently bought gloves for working in the kitchen, but don't always remember to wear them. I'm out of the loop and found about a gel manicure only a few weeks ago. I got one and love it. I heard about powder, but I don't think they do it here.
As a side note, it was under $12 , but salary is much less here too.
Are there other kinds?

I do my nail myself or gel.
I'm not paying someone to do regular polish that chips in 2 days.

Gel isn't great for my nails so I only do it for Pesach and Sukkot. In between I either do my nails myself or get a regular manicure once in a while.

I get the non gel polish that stays on longer than regular. Essie in the twisty bottle. It’s a couple dollars more but stays on. I did gel for a long time and it damaged my nails. I just did powder for the first time. While it looks great and stays on long, it also damaged my nails.

If I didn’t have to keep Niddah I would do it much more. I find the stress of removal before Mikvah not worth going. It’s hard enough taking off the cheap polish I use at home before Mikvah.

I used to get the Essie 14-day nail polish but it never lasted for even 7 days for me.
And the nail salon charges $5 extra for it.
So I went back to $13 manicures and I find it lasts just as long as the supposedly long lasting ones.
I think the length of time my manicures stay nice are dependent more on the particular color and amount of scrubbing and housecleaning I do that week.

I get theessie 14 day polish. My local place calls it a weekly manicure. I find it lasts me between 5-7 days.

I get gel "fill in"
They put this clearish gel on my nail and when that hardens under the light they put any color I choose. I get it done every three or four weeks. They have a special drill and they take the polish off that way. I used to get shellack but it made my nails very weak.

I don't get manicures but I like painting my nails fun colours myself. Cheap regular polish because I know it will chip anyway.

Which one is that? Is it the Essie gel in the twist bottle?
