Beautiful Bright Nails

Has anyone heard of Shellac Nail Polish?

Here is a quick fun fact for the day where are beauty products come from. Shellac is a resin secreted by a Lac Bug in India and Thailand. It is scraped from the trees and sold as dry flakes shown below.  It is then dissolved in ethyl alcohol to make liquid Shellac.

It, in my opinion, is the happy medium between regular nail polish and Acrylic. It doesn't ruin your nails like acrylic does but it is stronger than regular nail polish. Shellac comes in all different colors.

 

Also, with Shellac after each coat of nail polish you stick your hand in a mini oven with a UV light. No more waiting for each coat to air dry, BORING. You can dig in your purse and find those keys and off you go. Great for an on the go gal. 

 

I have the BEST Nail Tech ever!! Her name is Kelly at Miracles Salon, she is fabulous!! Kelly tries to get me to branch out, instead of my normal french manicure. So, my pinkie is the lime green that is everywhere this season, I did ask for that color this week, and the rest she just went to work. Here is what she created this week.

Basically find an awesome Nail Tech and use Shellac, your nails will look amazing every time.
