False Nails

[pinkjudy45]

I have had false nails before and my own nails go all soft and 'pappy' when the false ones are removed, I have just come back from Spain and the girl in the beauty salon suggested shelac nails, has anybody used them and what are they like?

Extract :

But Shellac is not for everyone. Your natural nails and nail beds must be healthy. If they're splitting, peeling or damaged from using acrylic or gel enhancements, experts say you should wait and talk to a licensed, trained nail care professional.

I use Shellac. I get them done every 3-4 weeks and my nails are stronger than ever. I was an avid nail-biter and they have worked wonders for me.

Thank you for the answers I will look into this further and see if I can find a salon that does these nails near my home.

Ditto V&C - I also have used Shelac for around 4 months now every two-three weeks, and my nails have honestly never been stronger! I think they are great, an dthe colours are FAB!
