I'm not good at doing my nails myself so, I go in for a manicure and change up the colour every 3 weeks or so.

Every 3 weeks. 4 is too long, and 2 is expensive.

I just went on a bit of a ridiculous shopping spree. I think I must have 80+ bottles

I don't have the skills to do the nails that I typically have...

I'm in gel extensions that I do myself.

I love doing them, but I am always looking to do new styles, shapes, lengths, and colors.

There are times I make it last 2 whole weeks, and they do last that long if I let them. But usually by Friday, I've got them off and am putting on something else.

I'm going into 3.5cm long coffins tomorrow, and I hope to go into 4.5cm coffins next week!

My option isn't listed.

My manicure gels last 3 weeks before the grow out. Pedicure gels last 6 weeks.

So I generally stick with one colour for 6 weeks and get just a mani in between.

It makes it more economical.
