Are you sick and tired of chipping your mani like 3 seconds after you leave the salon? I tried a Shellac mani for the first time and SWEAR will NEVER go back to a regular mani. Yeah, it may cost more, but it lasts FOREVER. And it stays shiny and brand new. PLUS it takes seriously 10 seconds to dry. The only thing that sucks about a Shellac mani is that because it's so new, there are so few colours. That being said, I'm sure in no time at all, there will be a huge variety to choose from. ONE YOU GO SHELLAC, YOU DON'T GO BACK !!!!!
