Shellac Manicure

Have you ever gotten a gel or shellac mani? I love having my nails painted, but they always seem to chip right after I get them done. Shellac manicures dry instantly (think, no sitting still for an hour while it dries!) and last for 14+ days without chipping. I got one last week, and so far, it's still in perfect shape. I'm officially a convert. Have you ever gotten a gel manicure?

I'm one of the few who have not done Shellac yet. I think my biggest fear is that it is hard to remove...have you had any issues with that? I am very close to caving and giving one a try.

I haven't tried it yet either. But it looks so fabulously shiny. And it doesn't chip for 2 weeks? Major selling point!

yes! I had one for my wedding and it lasted from 2 days before until like 3 weeks after. Basically all of July, I had pretty nails. I loved it. So worth the money if you have a big event.

While I like the gel manis, I just get so bored with my nail polish color! I'm prone to change it 2 or 3 times a week. . . so I guess they aren't for me!! Ha.

I never have, but my mom loves them! She discovered them when she got a manicure for my wedding and now she's hooked!

I've always wanted to get one! One day I will be able to afford it on the reg. Note to self: DO NOT try the store DIY kind. Does NOT work it was all streaky and awful and took days to come off
