Get Shellac’d for V-day!

Listen up gals, because you are going to love this (and you too guys, because V-day is today, and if you’re still struggling for a gift, this one’s good!)

Never-chip nail polish? Yep, I’ve given it a try and it’s the real-deal. It’s called Shellac, and it’s a gel nail polish that hardens after being cured with a UV light.

As much as I love having the length of acrylic nails, I’m much too impatient to sit in the manicurist’s chair for an hour. Nor do I like how they destroy the natural nail. On the contrary, I’ve been stuck living with thin, weak nails, and my nail base is very oily, so polish only lasts a day or two. Until now – yay!

It’s very simple. I went to Hi-tech nails next to Fred Meyer, however there are many locations in Yakima that provide the service. The manicurist filed my nails and applied a base coat. In between coats, you place your hand under a UV light. She applied the nail color and the top coat and then your hands sit under the lamp for about five minutes. Once you are finished, the polish is completely cured and dry, with no worries of smudging it. It takes about 15 minutes and then you’re on your way.

My nails look shiny and amazing, they are hard as rocks…and growing to boot. It costs $15 and lasts 10-14 days (depending on how quickly your nails grow). Give it a try. I promise you’ll love it.
