    has anyone had them removed? it sounds like they're not supposed to damage your natural nails, but i'm curious about anyone's experience with them.

    i called my salon yesterday and they DO offer both manis and pedis with the axxium, and they charge $100 for both ($40 mani/$60 pedi) and say to plan for an hour and a half.
    I have had them removed about three times now. They really do leave your nails a little thinner and brittle, I realized they say there is no harm. I have really thick nails, so it wasn't that huge of a difference to me, but I could notice it.
    Two of my clients had them done and won't go back. They thought that the damage wasn't worth it. (I didn't think that it was too bad.)
    None of us have paid more than $30 for the mani, most pay $20-25. I will keep doing it, especially for the wedding, but I am concerned that if it does chip or peel in Mexico before the wedding, I would have no way to take them off- they do not sell the solution that you soak your hands in.
    On the super plus side, your nails are immediately dry and ready to go way quicker than a normal mani.
    I say give it a shot before you go!

    I love this and have been getting it done for a few months now :)

    But, it does take a little longer than a typical mani to get the color off, because you have to soak your nails and then it peels off. Which, also means that if it does start to chip while on vacation, it is near impossible to get off without the solution.

    Also, my girlfriend asked her salon in Denver to have it done and was told that they do not offer it because it cracks off too easy with their climate (cold). I thought that was interesting! All in all, it is a great solution to keeping your nails looking fresh!
