Shellac nails

Do I want them or not? I thought I might get them done for my holiday but I don't want to have to keep getting them done. What happens to it - do you have to go and get it removed?

I have mine done fortnightly. My nails have a tendency to peel and the gel manicure really protects them. I get the gel removed at the salon prior to a fresh gel manicure. I've had to remove the gel myself in the past and I find it difficult and I can never get it all off even with the proper equipment!

Thank you - it sounds like a one off wouldn't really be that practical then so I'd have to go back.

Had these once, they looked nice and lasted well for a holiday, had them removed by the beautician, but the shellac damaged my nails. They prevent oxygen getting to the nails, which is bad for them.
