Are you a nailpolish girl? I used to always have a coral colored manicure and always kept it neat. That was until I had a baby...haven't had my nails painted in over a year! Until a few weeks ago, that is. My sister recommended the new Shellac manicure, which lasts two weeks or more, dries completely before you leave the salon, and doesn't chip. Amazing. There are a few catches -- it is more expensive than a regular manicure (averaging $30 or more), it takes about 45 minutes, and it must be applied and removed by a trained professional. Even so, I think it is a great choice for anyone who loves getting a manicure but doesn't have the luxury of keeping her hands still for long.

Thanks to a Valentine's Day special, I was able to get a Shellac manicure + a pedicure for $45!
It lasted more than 3 weeks, and looked amazing! When it was time for it to come off, I was able to chip off the paint myself.
Nice deal, Penny!
I have also been able to peel off the layers after a few weeks. But it left my natural nails a little frail. I'm sure there are some home remedies people are concocting to save the $10 and extra time.
Your ring is way prettier than that.
