Does Shellac Make Nails Stronger?

This has been one of the questions that I have been asked most frequently.. so thought I would do a post to explain the answer and result. First of all, what is shellac? Shellac is a hybrid nail treatment, with the finish of a traditional polish but the long-lasting results of a gel treatment. It is scratch and wear-resistant and can have a variety of finishes including glitter, pearl and metallic! After performing a basic manicure, the therapist will apply the Shellac nail polish layer by layer, curing each one with a special UV lamp that dries the polish instantly. Shellac should do absolutely no damage to your nails, so if you want to have it re-applied, it's safe to go for it straight away. Sound good? I can honestly say, this treatment is the only treatment that has given my nails strength.. and lasts for 2 weeks! To give you the proof, (and sorry to show you such awful, dry nails in the before shot) here are my nails before and with the shellac nails, using a colour called 'Romantique'. Believe it or not...the after shot is after 11 days of wear so you can see how durable and glossy this polish lasts!

Why not try to have Shellac on your next manicure?
