I can't wait. I am the type of person that messes up my nails pretty quickly, so I really want pretty nails for a while if possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-gel-nail-polish-smell-like#post-156568 Sat, 12 May 2012 09:41:11 +0000 Shimmer 156568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sensitive to smells but I did okay with it. The removal can be nasty, if they just have you soak in a bowl. The salon I used to frequent wrapped each individual nail, so it wasn't messy or smelly for me though!</p> <p>I loved the gel nails and had them for my wedding! They held up great for a few weeks afterwards (including my active caribbean honeymoon!) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-gel-nail-polish-smell-like#post-156565 Sat, 12 May 2012 09:32:46 +0000 sorrycharlie 156565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with Andrea - I smelled everything else. What I did smell, though, was the awful acetone they use to take it off later! Some places wrap gauze stuff around your fingers to soak it off but the place I went to put your hands in a bowl..It stunk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-gel-nail-polish-smell-like#post-156563 Sat, 12 May 2012 09:28:00 +0000 Andrea 156563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hard to say - I have gotten it done in nail salons so you just smell all the normal polishes in there anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-gel-nail-polish-smell-like#post-156556 Sat, 12 May 2012 09:16:14 +0000 heffalump 156556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't take strong smells, but I really want to try it. </p>
