Who all has gotten a gel manicure and liked it? Have you read about the UV ray issue? http://bit.ly/za7KvV and http://huff.to/wE7NGj 

The consensus seems to be to wear SPF 30 on your hands if you plan to get a lot of gel manicures. And check the label of the polish for the dreaded butylated hydroxyanisol (BHA), which is considered a cancer-causing agent, and found in some gel nail polishes.
