All of my manicure and pedicure services include a nail file and shape, cuticle work and a colour of your choice*. It's up to you which kind of colour you would like... but Shellac or nail paint? THAT is the question...
*except "Shape & Paint" services. (That's just a shape and paint...)
I have drawn a graph for you, look!
The differences between Shellac and nail paint
Which one is right for you?
If you....
Don't have the time for manicures every week
Want perfect colour and shine for up to 14 days
Want to stop biting your nails
Want to start growing your nails a little longer
Always ruin your fresh paint before it has time to dry
Want to put your cosy socks & boots on immediately after your pedicure
Want to have your nail art intact for as long as possible
THEN SHELLAC IS FOR YOU!
Shellac in "Bare Chamise" and "Cityscape" with black details
If you....
Like to change your nail colour every week
Are patient and can sit still for 15 minutes after a manicure
Don't bite your nails
Prefer to use a nail strengthener to grow your nails
Have time to read a book for 20 minutes after a pedicure
Like to remove the colour yourself
Don't mind if the shine/nail art could only last a week
THEN NAIL PAINT IS FOR YOU!
Acrylics with fresh OPI nail paint. Mmmmmmm
So.... What's it going to be???
Now that you've decided, it's time to choose your colour and even better yet, nail art! There's so many choices, you'll be glad to have 10 fingers and 10 toes...
and if you don't then we can still go crazy with colours, glitters, foils, embellishments on the ones you DO have :)
Note:
Shellac is a brand of soak-able, hybrid, colour gel by CND (Creative Nail Design). Not all coloured gel is Shellac. Different brands have different ingredients and systems of application and removal.
