That gel thing, you know, the one they put on your nails, called gel nyc, yeah, that’s the one. I heard some folks talking ’bout it down at the market the other day. They was sayin’ it’s all the rage these days. Makes your nails all shiny and pretty, like them city girls. I seen it on them young’uns, always lookin’ fancy.
Well, I ain’t never had it done myself. My hands, they’re workin’ hands, you see. Always in the dirt, plantin’ and weedin’. Don’t need no fancy gel nyc on ’em. But I heard them sayin’ it lasts a long time. Longer than that regular polish that chips off after a day or two. This gel nyc, they say it can last for weeks! Imagine that, weeks of pretty nails.
They put it on, and then they stick your hand under some kinda light. Like a little oven for your nails, I reckon. Seems strange to me, but they say it makes the gel nyc hard, like a rock. So it don’t chip or nothin’. But some say it’s hard on your nails, this stuff. Can make ’em weak, I hear. You know, brittle and breakin’.
- Some girls said it’s a good deal, this gel stuff.
- No chippin’ for a long time, they say.
- But it costs more, that’s for sure.
- They say it keeps your nails from breakin’, but I don’t know about that.
They say you gotta go back to the nail place to get it taken off, too. Can’t just do it yourself. They soak it in somethin’, I think. Some kinda special remover. Sounds like a lot of fuss to me. I heard it makes your nails all thin and weak afterward, though. Like paper, almost. Maybe you get cancer from that light, too. You never know.
Now, that regular polish, you can just take it off with that stinky remover stuff. Easy peasy. And it’s cheaper, too. But it don’t last near as long. One day you’re paintin’ the fence, and bam, it’s all chipped and messed up. This gel nyc thing, though, it’s supposed to be tough. But is it good for you? I don’t know.
I reckon if you got the money and you want pretty nails for a long time, maybe this gel nyc is for you. But for me, I’ll stick to my plain old nails. They might not be fancy, but they get the job done. And I ain’t got time for all that fussin’ at the nail place. I remember my friend got these once, and she said they were great, but you have to be careful with them.
- If you want those shiny nails, this might be the way.
- Just be ready to pay more, though.
- And watch out for that light thingy, might not be so good for ya.
- Make sure you take care of your nails after, they might be weak.
I heard them talkin’ ’bout somethin’ called “gel-x” too. Said it’s better than that acrylic stuff. Less harm to the nails. You know, acrylic, them fake nails they glue on. They put a tip on your nail, then use some kinda powder and liquid. Smells awful, if you ask me. I hear it’s not healthy. This gel nyc, now, it seems like everyone wants it these days.
They say this gel-x is safer. Don’t use all them harsh chemicals. Still gotta go to a professional, though. Someone who knows what they’re doin’. You don’t want just anyone messin’ with your nails, no sir. Could end up with a real mess. And it still costs a pretty penny, I bet. More than regular polish, that’s for sure.
Some folks say it’s worth the extra money, though. ‘Cause it lasts so long. Up to four weeks, they say! Can you believe it? Four weeks with no chippin’. That’s a long time. Regular polish, you’re lucky if it lasts a few days, especially if you’re workin’ with your hands. You have to decide if the extra cost is worth it for ya. Some like it, some don’t.
Me, I don’t know. I think I’ll just stick with my plain old nails. They might not be pretty, but they’re strong. And I ain’t got time to be sittin’ in a nail salon for hours. I got work to do. I guess the most important is that you’re happy with what you get on your nails. I mean, if you want to spend the money to have nice nails for a long time, then do it. You do you, as the kids say.
But if you’re thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ this gel nyc, maybe do some research first. Ask around. See what other folks have to say. Don’t just jump into it blind. You might regret it. It’s important that you know what you’re gettin’ into. They say it’s popular, but that don’t mean it’s good for everyone.
