How do you get great nails? Shellac is the answer. Here is a little FAQ I wrote for About.com that I hope will answer many of your questions on the product. Check it out here, as well as swatch posts here and a video here! And scroll down to see supporting photos of product under weeks of wear and tear.
A Shellac manicure is the easiest way to give natural nails the beautiful, finished look of gel or liquid & powder without going artificial.
For the last 5 weeks I’ve put it to the test on clients and on the most notorious nail polish abusers known: the stylists at Harpo’s Salon in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin. After exposure to water, hair dye, gardening (yes) and cuticle biting, Shellac stayed strong, shiny, and kept the nail beds healthy.

Erica’s hands after: The Shellac manicure leaves hands looking beautifully finished with a high shine for a top coat.
Before Shellac, Harpo’s owner Peggy Dixon was only able to keep a polish manicure nice for four hours. Here are her hands after 3 weeks of Shellac!

Do you remember sweating blood and tears over your first interview? MTV wants to bring it all back, and for some, to document for eternity on film. The new series “Hired” follows college grad hopefuls through the interview process to see where things go right, and where they go terribly, shockingly, wrong.
