Shellac Manicure Follow-Up: Removal and Carnage

I got my Shellac Manicure on March 13th. I was quite pleased. The color was gorgeous and it really did every thing that it was supposed to, like not chip.

But then, tragedy struck.

While in the shower, thinking thoughts, I accidentally cut my finger and sliced through my manicure on my left ring finger. It looked like I had cut a slice of manicure pie right out of the color. I was so mad at my wandering thinky grey whale.

The good news was that even with that piece missing, the manicure on that finger did not chip, crack, or peel any further. That was pretty sweet.

I Got A Shellac Manicure: TRUE STORY

You may remember that Cindy absolutely HATED her experience with a Shellac Manicure. As you know, we here at Hot Ink understand that different things are liked by different people, sometimes the person providing a service makes all of the difference, and I like getting mah nails did.

I received a gift certificate to a salon that I had never been to before. It was for $20 toward a manicure. I fully expected to just get a normal manicure since this was a smaller place that lives in yard of a house. (It's legit. For real! It was legit! And so pretty!)

Shellac Manicure: Don't Do It

Author: Cindy

I'm not one who gets a lot of manicures. For one, I don't like people fussing over me. Additionally, I'm lazy and I don't care about having polished nails all that much--they're like a special occasion thing, or sometimes a bonding experience with my daughters.

Well, a couple of weeks ago I was going to a Pajibacon (which definitely qualifies as a special occasion), so I thought I'd get my nails done. I decided to go to a salon that was close to home, even though I'd never been there before.
