I am sad to say I didn't have a good experience with this at all. I got a french manicure done the day before I left for my wedding. So I got it on the Friday and my wedding was on the Thursday (6 days later). By my wedding day, some of my nails had gotten grey around the white edges making my fingernails look dirty. I could not clean them off so my nails looked dingy. From far away it was fine, tey still look good but up close you could see that they looked dirty. Also by my honeymoon so about 8-10 days after I got it done, some of my nails started to bubble at the edges, this really drove me nuts because things would got caught under the edge, it bothered me so much that I wanted so badly to get it off. But of course you can't just take it off and I was in the Bahamas with no idea where to get it removed. Now I am back but the salon isn't open today. I want this off so badly. It has been just over 2 weeks and my nails look horrible. I will never do this again. At least with regular nail polish I could have just removed it, with the Axxium I am stuck until I can get into the salon. I guess I should mention that I also did axxium on my toes. I did a colour - light pink on my toes. I haven't had any problems with my toes but the experience with my hands has made me want to get it all off and never try it again.
