Manicure lasts for over two weeks! Amazing!

I love shellac manicures and was happy to give CND a chance. They offer beautiful colours and the application process, although a littlr longer than a regular mani, will give you beautiful, shiny nails. My manicure lasted 2 weeks and did not chip or lose shine at all (my nails just grew out!) I would highly recommend CND shellac polish to anyone who uses their hands a lot (especially in waters!) as you are guaranteed to have a flawless manicure for days and days!

I always find that with regular nail polish my nails chip within 24 hours. After trying CND shellac at my nail salon I can honestly say I love it! It doesn't take long to do and you don't have to wait for it to dry like regular nail polish and the bonus.. It doesn't chip! When wearing shellac my nails stay freshly manicured for about 2-3 weeks! Would definitely recommend.

Loved it for my toes. It has been 3 weeks still no chips and it stayed shiny.

I was fortunate enough to join the #TryShellac campaign courtesy of Chick Advisor, which included a free manicure using CND Shellac products. My application was quick which is a bonus for those of us on a time crunch. The Shellac went on really thin which I liked because I can’t stand thick gloopy fake looking manicures. After two weeks my nails still look great and there is no chipping whatsoever. My only minor complaint would be that the products do not do anything to strengthen my nails as I find other gel-like products I’ve tried do. I’m hoping CND will take that into consideration and develop a product that does. I would give CND Shellac another go and try other colors and products in the line as well as further recommend them to friends and family.

I've had 4 shellac manicures in my lifetime. This was the only one that lasted more than a week. Perhaps it was because the spa had the newest dryers/ technology to bond it to my nail and they took the time to ensure my nail bed was clean before applying the nail polish.

My basecoat bubbled initially but the bubbles went away as the next coat was applied. My french shellac manicure lasted 3 weeks with only a minor chip in one nail on day 20. I was really impressed that my manicure looked as good as new when it was time to remove it. I chose a french manicure because I was not particularly fond of any other colour selection available. I am still not clear on the differences between Shellac and other gel nail polishes.

I would recommend a shellac manicure to someone only sporadically as removing the nail polish seems to remove a layer of the nail and make them rough and bumpy.

Thank you ChickAdvisor for selecting me to participate and #TryShellac. Here is my second review regarding the Shellac product itself:

I have tried most gel / shellac products on the market in Canada including (OPI, Akzentz, gelish, etc) I have used other products from CND so am reviewing their shellac polish in comparison.

Overall, the product was very similar to a regular nail polish with regards to the end result and the application process. It applied surprisingly thin, unlike a typical gel polish. I liked this attribute as gel and shellac is normally very thick, harder to remove and feels less natural.

I chose a deep wine colour ('Tis the fall season afterall) which I loved! There were so many colour choices and I had to get the nail technician to help me narrow down from my top three favourites. She even explained to me that they didnt have all the colours in the line. (Thank god, I would have been there all day trying to decide!)

Overall, the polish has lasted me two weeks as of today. I am only now experiencing slight chipping / lifting after two weeks of wear and its probably because I do the most amount of housework and dishes out of me and my husband. The polish is still shiny as ever and only since they are showing the growth will I soon be ready for another appointment.

Overall, I am very surprised. I figured due to the thinness of the shellac that it wouldnt last as long as a regular gel manicure but I was wrong! Very pleased with the end results. I would definitly recommend this product over other gel / shellac brands.

The application is actually faster than I expected and at the end I couldn't believe that my nails dried so fast and how shine is the finish. I believe because of the application I had to do my nails again in less than one week, but when I tried CND Shellac in a different place, my nails stayed beautiful for more than 10 days. The color selection is just amazing! From neutral to dark ones and with colorful fun, I have plenty of colors to chose from. I was my first time using Shellac, and I wish during the application I had some information about the product and why is different from other brands. I'm glad that I had this experience because I could try Shellac for the first time and I loved!!! I already tried again and I will definitely continue to use it! Totally recommended Shellac to my friends and family. I just wish it could be easier to find the products and kits, so I could do at home for emergencies.

I was selected by Chickadvisor's product review club and had the opportunity to go to a salon and try the Shellac manicure. The application was very quick and I was out within an hour. The selection of colours was vast and I was able to choose a pretty mauve colour. My friends have been telling me how nice and shiny my nails are. After two weeks, my nails were still very shiny and had minimal chipping. This is from working on the keyboard everyday and also traveling extensively, so I'm quite impressed! The nail technician was also able to tell me more about the difference between gel and shellac and I have to say I'm sold for shellac! I'd definitely be recommending this to my friends and will be returning for those special occasions when I want my nails extra shiny and long lasting!

The results were pretty quick. Took no time to dry. I loved the colour I chose was nice with a glossy finish. It lasted for almost two weeks, and that's after dish washing, boxing and lifting weights a few times a week. Fantastic. There was minimal chipping. The colour selection was pleasing. There were a lot to choose from, and the decision was pretty quick once I saw my colour. I would get a CND Shellac manicure again, and I received a lot compliments. I would definitely recommend it.
