    I received this from Chick Advisor to try and I was really impressed, the color was a great light pink that I liked to wear and I applied it a week before going on a two week honeymoon to the beach and it lasted the entire trip. I was very impressed with no chips or breaks it looked great the whole time - highly recommend.

    One of the best long wear, similar to gel polish products I have ever worn.

    I want to first say that I had not realized I would receive a sample from chick advisor for this product and so it was a joy to get it in the mail box. The colour was not one that I would be able to wear often but was great to sample. I looked at the colour range and there are many that I would wear. The top coat is awesome and I will use it with other nail polish brands as well. I was doing a lot of work decorating when I tested it and it did not make it through the week perfect. I would say I had three great days. The only problem I can say with this product is for smokers. I let a friend use it and the fingers she smokes with completely changed colour from purple to pink. Never saw a nail polish do this!

    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.

    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!
