I once had gel nails that were so bad that I had them taken off by another salon the next day! They were fragile and bubbly-looking! Ick! I also had gel nails that looked so real even my picky sister could not tell the difference! Overall, I am pleased with Shellac! It is day 6 and other than dry cuticles, my nails still look great!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-13288482611712845522010-12-07T11:38:05.295-08:002010-12-07T11:38:05.295-08:00Thank you for the advice, Miss Amethyst!

It has been so dry and cold here in the DC area and as a result, my hands are dry! My poor cuticles look wrecked! I will be sure to buy some Solar Oil today!

I was unhappy with the thickness of it but that was probably more to do with who did it than the product.

I still cannot believe my nails look flawless after 5 days! I am tough on my hands too and I feel like I am always re-doing my polish as well! I also like how the CND Shellac website has a salon locator! I just looked on the locator page and there are TONS of salons in Phoenix that offer Shellac! There are only two red colors right now, the true bright red I got called Wild Fired and a deeper, violet-toned, cranberry red.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-87583255954794734832010-12-06T15:27:23.118-08:002010-12-06T15:27:23.118-08:00I really like the color.

I love red nail polish and am never without it, but I am horribly hard on my nails, which means I am always touching up my manicure. <br /><br />Thanks for posting this!Jitterbugdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659563812074455023noreply@blogger.com
