Share Your Story: Shellac Nail Polish Reviews

How was the Shellac Manicure Procedure Different?

Yes, it definitely lasted longer but there was a color change in a few days. The color changed from pink to washed out peachy. I asked for Shellac, but I think my nail tech used a Gellish color. Also, the base coat was all dried up and she had to put it in some warm water to make it work or something.

What did You Think of the Shellac Polish?

I like the polish, but the damage to my nails are terrifying! It's my third time getting a "shellac" mani. The last time I got it removed at the place they used a drill thing and filed down the polish after it was soaked in acetone for a long time already. I didn't want to go back there to get them filed down even thinner and decided to do self removal. They are so damaged!

Advice

  • I think this is a lot of damage to your real nails. I'm not sure if I'm gonna continue getting it done. I'll go back to regular polish I think. My nails were stronger than.
