On Saturday me and my friend treated ourselves to a Shellac manicure, and I have to confess Im in love....
I am totally a convert, at first I wasnt too sure as it can be pricey and there isnt a massive choice of colours yet as its still kind of a new thing. I went for Wildfire Red which you can see below, I normally go for dark or shimmery colours but decided to vamp it up for a change (not like me im more tramp than vamp)
The whole process takes about 45 minutes, they layer a lot and use the UV drying machines to seal the colour and protect them from smudging or bubbling. The end result is amazing it leaves your nails so shiny you can see your face in them, it also lasts for 3-4weeks no chips, smudges or discolouration. They feel like they have a coat of armour on them and there isnt one mistake or bubble. I think this is what makes them so good as I usually paint my nails and then 2 days in it looks like i might as well have not bothered. The only downside is apart from London* which is where we had them done its not a common manicure yet in most salons, I have only found 2 in Birmingham so far that do them. Have you ever had this done? If so where? and did you get a great result too?
* We went to Bliss in Kensington, this isnt a promotion they were paid for by myself this is just a recommendation...
