Shellac Nails

For more info please see my website: http://www.lisae.me.uk/7299

I love painting my nails different colours and getting the occasional manicure but its always a pain when they either smudge immediately or start to chip a day or two later. When I first heard about Shellac it sounded like a dream come truea nail polish that doesnt budge for at least 2 weeks! This film shows the complete application process and explains what its all about.

Ill post a photo of my nails two weeks after the treatment so you can see how they are doing. Hope you enjoy this bit of fun. Its coming to a salon near you! Btw, David, the lovely guy who did my Shellac so beautifully has joined twitter, hes http://twitter.com/nailistasista

I had this done and my nails were mildly buffed and the polish/shellac came off the next day. no chips. LIES! hahha. I didnt really do anything I dont normally do either and I wasn't hard on them either. OH well. :(

@uskitin sorry to hear about your awful experience but that does NOT sound right, I hope you went back and complained. They should refund you or do it again properly. Good luck x

Lisa, you never said anything about how long the nails actually lasted and how you liked it in general. or maybe you did and I just never heard it.

@IrinaRamova I posted the result on my blog three weeks after filming (I think I do say that in the film). If you go to my website and enter shellac nails in the search at the bottom of the home page you should see the pictures etc x

ii got my nails done today with Shellac and so far so good :) just wish there was more colours to choose from :)

[lisaeldridgedotcom]

@UglyBananaPopTart I think there are lots of new colours soon. You could also try 'Artistic' nails...they are new and use the same system as Shellac but have a ton of shades x

i know she told him i dont want anything done in way of filing down her nails

[CaPtNmOrGaN333]

I have done this to a lot of people but when i try to have it done it pulls away from the edge of my nails and it looks horrible i have no idea why it wont work

[spokeforhours]

It looks really great, loved this red! Although it reminds me, I'm from Brazil and I can't get used to the way Americans and Europeans paint their nails, leaving part of it showing near the cuticle, it looks a bit weird for me. Here manicures remove the cuticle, paint all the nail without worrying too much about getting it on your skin around it, then using a stick with cotton and nail polish remover they clean the edges.

I took my shellac off at home with acetone, cotton wool and foil. It wasn't hard at all. I did watch a tutorial on youtube first, which helped.

@StephanySays Same here. The polish was perfect and lasted a long time indeed but getting rid of it was a pain, I wouldn't do it again.

[Csoery]

Tried it twice - wouldn't do it again. The paint does last for two weeks, it's true, it won't chip at the end, it stays perfectly intact for a long time. It's a very stong cover, so it works on fragile, thin nails as well. However, you can't just remove it when you get bored of the colour or when your nails have grown a little. To get rid of it is a pain and your nails will most likely end up in a much worse state than before.

He paints too slow

[theory816]

this guy is PRO! but dont you have to cut off the cuticle after pushing it up?

@PrayLoveLaughEatLive If your nails grow quickly, you can get the Shellac removed before the two week mark. Two weeks isn't how long you HAVE to wait, it's how long you CAN wait before reapplication. It wears like a gel/acrylic and will "grow out".
