Polish vs Shellac

If you follow nail trends, you must have heard of Shellac – a new system from Creative Nail Design (CND).  The Shellac manicure is becoming tremendously popular due to its long-lasting shine and chip-free results.  Normally lasting about 14 days but can last longer.  Also, compared to acrylics or gels, Shellac can be removed without filing – which means it’s healthier for your natural nails.
 The system offered to professionals includes a base coat, top coat and 12 polish colors that cure in a UV lamp.  Which is much more durable than regular polish.
I never get manicures, I mainly do them myself. I went to try out the Shellac to see if it would be worth purchasing and applying myself.  A Shellac manicure costs between $25-$40, depending on the salon. Yet, let me for a moment expound on the joys of being pampered at a salon, which cannot be duplicated at home.  The warm soaks, hand massages and delicious-smelling lotions will undoubtedly keep manicurists in business.
