shellac nails - a revelation!

had my nails done today with this stuff - its just brilliant! i have really good nails that grow very quickly, so much so i have to cut them regularly to keep them shortish for work - i hate the feel of false nails and hate the damage they do to real nails, so wanted something that would last but wasnt false.

Ive had grey shellac put on - it looks brilliant! i will definitely have this done again, could be a convert. it cost £16 but i had all the cuticle work done too so it looks very neat. Loved the fact that you dont have to wait for it to dry, when its done, its done!

brill!

its worth it, looks fab. really glossy colour. love that it only took a few mins and you cant chip it or knock it. im going to try a different colour next time, really pleased at how good it looks.

Do they extend your nails or is it just a coating? I'm a bit confused.

I had this done last year for my hols, was very very pleased. Managed to get 3 weeks out of them. I even removed it myself no problem. I have a voucher for the salon I go to and I am going to have finger and toe nails done.

Bag, it is a coating.

where are you in the country to get it done for £16???

ThatVikRinA22 · 11/02/2012 22:13

aye, bag - its just like nail varnish for your own nails but its hard, so you cant knock or chip it, its set as its done under a UV lamp, so its great - you can put your coat on without worrying about knocking it!

i hated the feel of false nails so this is great, its like a nail varnish but not nail varnish....

Hi Bella!
