Shellac

I have to say first off..I'm not much of a mani-pedi type of gal. I would say I've had it done less than 15-20 times in my life. Usually, I opt out of a manicure because the paint just never lasts and I always feel it's a waste of money. But this past weekend, when Briana was here, we went to a place right by my house called VIP Nails (pronounced V-I-P Nails, unless you are my 7 yr old and then you call it Vip Nails) and the lady talked me into trying this new stuff called Shellac. That was Saturday. Today is Wednesday. The day that I would normally be peeling the last scraps of polish that were left on my nails off. Not with this stuff!!! They look exactly as they did when I left the salon on Saturday! Not a chip, scratch or peel of polish anywhere! I have a feeling you might need a chisel to remove this polish. I would post a picture...but my hands really aren't that pretty. Just trust me..if you have a salon around you that offers this stuff, you have to try it out. I'm afraid this could make me atleast a monthly manicure snob. It was $47 for the mani-pedi combo, although I only have the Shellac on my fingernails, since pedicures tend to last longer anyway. Still cheaper than some salons I have been to before for this service. I will say, Briana's lady was not the most attentive, as she was on her cell phone for atleast half of the time she was supposed to be working on her. The owners didn't seem to happy with her customer service, and I have a feeling that she got a reprimand after we were gone.
