they look great Eric! its dangerous for me to look at your 'after' photo again coz i SO miss my gel nails!
eric, once you start getting fills, it gets addicting and it may be quite a while before you return to your regular nails. when u get gel or acrylic nails taken off, if you've had fills for quite a while it is some bit of work to get your nails back to looking good in their natural state. it can take 6 months to a year of sorry looking nails. sooooooooooooooooo, only get fills if you are in it for the long haul, i mean if you want to wear those nails for quite a while then go for it, it is worth it! otherwise, enjoy them the next week or two then get them taken off, just my advice
