Not cultural misunderstanding. Nova? Awesome for mani pedi? The guy...no I asked for gel french manicure. After 40 years of nails..this was horrendous..these nails look like a 10 year olds painted nails and the process of doing gel nails was nothing like I have ever seen..not Gel nails? What the heck he did. Painted gel on..painted white nail polish for the tips then painted gel over top...omg..horrible.. I now must now pay to remove them and have a professional do them right.
