There is nothing worse than ruining a new manicure. Thanks to Shellac, you don’t have to worry about chips, cracks or smudges anymore!
So, what is Shellac? Shellac is a gel that paints on like polish. There are four layers: a base coat, two layers of color, and a top coat. After each coat a timed UV light is applied. Then, voila, you’re done! The process takes the same time as a manicure and allows you to walk out the door with completely dry nails. No more worrying about grabbing your wallet or car keys out of your purse and ruining your manicure. There are more than 30 Shellac colors to choose from, so there is a color for everyone.
Most manicures cost $15 to $25 and only last a few days. The great thing about Shellac is that it lasts for two to three weeks with no chips or cracks. If you’re a regular mani-pedi girl like me, it saves you money and keeps your nails in tip-top shape. Depending on the salon and city, you can find Shellac for around $30 to 45. The gel not only protects your nails, but also helps them grow. What girl doesn’t like beautiful, healthy nails?
