Was it Shellac?

Hi, not sure where to put this but hope its the right place. Didnt want to start a new thread with me not being a nail tech (popped over from hair). However, im a newbie to having my nails done (recently recovered biter) and after browsing the lovely pics on here i decided to book in for shellac. I spoke to the salon owner on the phone and asked about the procedure etc and if it was shellac. Anyway, i went this morning and noticed the polish she was using wasnt a shellac bottle and just said gel nails on the front. Dont get me wrong, my nails look lovely but she charged me £25 for this. Am i right to feel cheated? X

Yeah she buffed my nails. I didnt say anything at the time. There was plenty of shellac polishes on her shelf and i chose from them which colour i wanted but then she used something different but the same shade.

If you have weak nails the gel is a better option as is thicker than Shellac so will protect your nails from breaking.
Regarding the price, I think is quite fair for gel overlays. In our salon we charge 30 pounds for this service. x
