The problem that I have with the gels is to get it off you have to soak your hands in acetone for 15-20 minutes and then she scrapes the rest of it off - that can't be good for you to be doing all of the time....
Oh for sure they are damaging because they even rough up your nails to apply them. You can't get them regularly or they will weaken your nails. I just get them for special occasions like rush and breaks and vacations when I don't want to be bothered with a manicure. Some girls still do French or American but personally I like a pretty neutral natural color. I think some French manicures look ridiculous depending on who does them.
