I've just had my nails done. I usually get a manicure with a standard nail polish, but this time my persuasive beautician convinced me to try Shellac.
According to Shellacnails.com "Shellac Nails TM last up to 14 days without losing shine or shimmer. They are hard and do not scratch or smudge. When it comes time to take them off the nail, it is as easy as 1, 2, 3 and it does not damage the nail itself."
Since I usually manage to chip nail polish within hours of having them done, I was intrigued to see if this new polish would work as well as they promised. There was an impressive selection of colours to choose from, and I have a thing for coral at the moment, so coral it was.
The final colour is a little more bubblegum than I expected, but I am still thrilled with the look. They are super shiny and so far, 17 hours later, still un-chipped.
I particularly liked that they were dry as soon as she'd finished doing them. There is NO drying time involved. No waiting around, or desperately trying to get your money out of your purse without smudging them.

I've recently been making the effort to paint my nails again, after a break of several years. I've never used shellac, your nails look lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer.
Delete4 days later, after 2 games of Ten Pin Bowling with the girls, crafting AND trying to undo the Ketchup with my nails, and they are still completely unchipped! I am a convert! :-D
I love shellac...pretty sure I had the same colour as you for a holiday. Ten days of sun, sand and sea and they were still perfect!

Thanks love. I finally had to trim them as I couldn't get my contact lens in! Unfortunately trimming them somehow broke the seal at the end of the nail and they immediately started peeling off on my right hand (left hand was perfect still). All in all they lasted 15 days before I had to have them removed and that was my fault for trimming them!

Sorry Helen, I don't think it's one I could do myself. I'd make a mess of it, and then struggle to get it off to start again!
DeleteI prefer BioSculpture gel but why do these manicures have to take so long? I just cannot face sitting in a salon for 1.5 hours when there are so many other things I could be doing :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Where have you been getting your manicures? My Shellac took all of about 20 minutes to apply. It was part of a package that included an exfoliation, back massage and the nails and the whole lot took less than 1.5 hours!
DeleteMaybe it's the extra hand-cream and massage your hands stuff that is adding to your time? Just get a mini-mani love. 20 minutes - honest.
