the gel is an enhancement to the nails and does cost im afraid fran! not as much as extensions but will still about 25 pounds i imagine. Its basically a few coatings of gel over your nails to protect them whilst they grow underneath its cured by uv lamp so once on its stuck so it wont chip or fall off (as long as done properly mind) or snap any of your nails at all. Its an organic product with no odour (like the acrylics) and lasts about 2 weeks when you need them touching up because your nail would have grown. You can get a colour gel or french manicure which will be permanant as long as you want it to be and it looks really nice as it doesnt scratch at all.

hope this helps!! if your looking to not spend too much id advice a manicure a few days before the big day or if you have them regulary you could get away with having one the day before.

hope this helps fran!
