In winter I decided to try getting a #manicure, to last longer than regular nail polish. After research and knowing that my swimming would be less than good for longevity, I decided to try two options.

Tried #biosculpture, and it lasted well, but the edges were so tempting to pick. The manicure I had also had kind of messy edges at the cuticle, which was disappointing given the cost. Got it removed at just over 3 weeks.

Next I tried builder in a bottle #BIAB. Despite wearing gloves when doing washing/cleaning and not swimming, it already lifted after 4 days. I also ready dislike how the texture feels on certain substances (when it touches plastic or gloss print etc) and the thickness of it. Booked it to be removed 10 days after the manicure was done, which is an awful return on investment.

Unsure whether to get biosculpture again or revert to home "manicures" and just tolerate the maintenance needed (and the weakness of my natural nails). Will have to have a think.
