After hearing all of the hype, curiosity got the better of me and I headed off to my local salon to get my first Shellac manicure. The process was fairly simple- base coat, a few coats of colour...

I decided to buy my own supplies after hearing all the hype. I'm pretty skilled when it comes to normal nail polish application, so I figured why not? I watched plenty of how to videos and began my...

I love Shellac with one exception. When I get a french manicure with it, after about 10 days, the tips of my nails start to turn dark. I don't work in dirt or ink and I have tried to keep this...

Shellac is a godsend! I'm always having to meet clients and am never seen without color on my nails. Until Shellac, I find myself having to have manicures every week or so, which is a real hassle...

I pay roughly 25$/mani every 2 weeks. I've been having this type of manicure done for almost a year straight now and I don't see any problems with my nails when the polish is removed. I don't have...

I have been getting CND shellac nail manicures for about 12 months now. I love that the colour range is building and I love how great the end result is. The fact that it paints on is...

I loved CND shellac for a while, but then my nails became so dehydrated that they had huge white marks on them. I am OCD about my nails and VERY committed to applying the solar oil my nail tech...

I honestly think that any bad experiences are caused by improper technique by the nail technician. I've had them done twice. My first experience I bought a groupon at a local salon and had them...

I am new to Shellac. Got my first Shellac mani a few weeks ago at my local spa, it was $44. I chose Zillionaire as my color. It did last with no chips. On day 8, I had to remove because the sides...

I had never had a manicure at a salon, because I am always annoyed by how quickly nail polish starts chipping off. It never seemed worth it. I heard about shellac, which CND claims lasts 14 days,...

First of all I just wanted to say after I got this done a few times at a salon I decided to buy my own products to save money in the long run. I absolutely love Shellac. It is easy to apply if done...

I think application skill matters a lot with Shellac. I've had it done twice, at different salons. The first time, it looked ok, but I had small chips in the polish by the 4th day, and lifting on...

Never again. After 5 days the sides began to lift and the entire things could be pulled right off. I am pretty hard on a regular manicure but even they last this long. I am surprised to see the...

Shellac is an industry-changer - far superior to OPI Axxium - this longwearing (11-12 days on me) gel is removable easily with acetone. Great for special occaisions. Zero dry time. Wear SPF on...

PROS -Truly does last 14 days. It could easily last another week but since my nails grow fast it just doesn't look very pretty to have 1/8 of your nail not polished near the cuticle. -SUPER...

Awesome stuff! I got mine done at an Asian nail salon in a Wallyworld, of all places, so their cost was about $10-15 cheaper than at a fancier salon. Still the manicure came out great, and the...
