A Shellac-ing

I have short nails.

{and short squatty fingers, but who’s counting} 

Gardening, crafting, painting, dishwashing… its rough on a girls digits.

And as we’re entering the cold season, they were starting to get dry/brittle.  Like man hands.  Gross.

So I had them Shellac’d. 

It seemed like everyone was doing it.  Pioneer Woman did it.  And that’s reason enough, no?

Granted we’re only on Day 1 of the Shellac manicure, but I LOVE it.  The paint was cured on, no drying time.  I could instantly rifle through my purse, wash my daughter’s hair, do laundry… without a smudge or smear.  The best part, no damage to my real nails (like acrylic or gel).  It’s like a gel/polish/color all in one.  Unfortunately, the color options for Shellac are limited right now, but I hear there are more on the horizon.

 

Anxious to see how long it lasts & how well my shorties grow in that time.

Oh, best part?  Cost is the same as a regular manicure.  Fun, fun, fun.
