Nail art (2) / 指甲上的艺术（2）

This time I tried a different type called gel overlay. It was said that this would last longer. "It will last 3 months." the owner said with a smile. But the long lasting type will cost much more. For both hands and feet the cost will be S$50 (excluding nail extension). More than double compared to the last time. In fact it did not last that long. Based on my personal experience, for feet, the normal one (without gel overlay) will be better. It’s cheaper and will last about the same time. And most important, without gel overlay, the design looks more beautiful. For hands, with gel overlay, it does last longer. It will only last slightly more than a week if without. It will last at least 1 and a half months if with gel overlay. I suggest that it’s better to not do any nail extension (about S$1.1 per nail). The reason is that it breaks easily after a while (say a month and a half time) and it hurts.

这次回去我尝试了另一种不同的做法，叫做光疗胶，似乎也有人叫它水晶指甲。据说这种做法会持续较长的时间。"它可以耐3个月”，店主笑着说道。当然价格也更贵，手脚加一块儿超过S$50（还不包括贴甲片），比起上次来，价格翻了一番还要多。但根据我的经验，脚不需做这种，因为作了光疗胶在脚上不但不能耐久，比起普通指甲油那种反而时间更短了，再加上价格又贵，还不如指甲油那种好看。对于手来说，耐久性确实要好很多，但也绝不像她说的那样可以耐3个月，大部分将在一个半月左右脱落，我只有左手的无名指和小指超过了三个月。建议不要贴甲片（大约S$1.1一个），因为贴了以后一般会在一个半月左右折断，而且会有点痛。
