It's my first time having something done onto my nails so I would like to share my experience here. :)
I wasn't born with pretty long fingers. My fingers will quite fleshy and it's short. What makes it worse is that I am a nail biter, yes since young. I couldn't stop this bad habit even when I am already 23 years old now. And I am always trying to hide my fingers when people happen to see it. The habit just come when I am feeling nervous or when I am deep in thought. I have tried putting a kind of solution on my nails that has a very bitter taste but still nothing works for me.
So I decided that perhaps it is time that I should spend a little money to stop this bad habit of mine. I booked an appointment with Shi Ning at her home-based nail salon and this time, it was gel extension! Because my nails were so short hence I can only do gel tip extension.
Very excited!

See the really huge difference gel extension makes??
*Pardon the poor quality of photos. I have no idea why :(
It's been 3 days now and the gel nails are still in very good condition, no chips etc. She warned me before that it might not last as long in my case since I have really short nails. Well, we shall see how long this can last then! :)
My verdict on gel nail extensions:
Good point - More pleasant and presentable looking nails
Bad point - Hard to wash hair!!!
Lol!
