As for nails...I think groomed/polished nails look soooo nice on people - makes their hands look so purdy! But I can never keep polish on my nails, it makes me crazy. I use a nice base...OPI or something, 2 -3 coats of polish, then Seche Vite on top. Looks good for one day, and then *boom* I'm already chipping. Also though, I paint (on canvas, I mean), do yardwork, do handy things around the house -- so all of that is so hard on my nails and any nail polish. Darn it.
Do you guys think shellac would stand up better to the painting, yardwork et al? Maybe I should try it. They even have some awesome home kits now that come w/ the 36w UV light thingy. I'd love to do it at home... |
I think shellac stands up to anything. I get it all the time and I never had it chip in less than 2 weeks no matter what I do! I did destruction/construction work on my kitchen, painting cabinets, walls, etc... when my hands were cleaned again, my nails still looked great! LOL Thats kind of funny!
