Shellac Attack!

Last weekend, I got my very first shellac manicure. I was not sure I'd love it, but I think I do! I got mine in OPI Bubble Bath. I got it Saturday, and Wednesday night, no signs of chipping. I've been to the pool and still looking strong. Below are my hands!





Overall, I'd do it again, but only for special occasions or vacations. It cost me $30 + tip, which is like 2 normal manicures. The process was a base coat-under the UV light. 2 coats of Bubble Bath, and under the light after each coat. And then, a top coat, and under the light for 5 minutes! There was no dry time, which I did love. As for removal, I'm not sure how that's going to go. They said to use acetone, but I'm thinking I might go and get a normal manicure so they'll take it off for me :) Any tips appreciated!!

Do you like shellac? Would you try it?
