Shellac nails are more often referred to as a gel manicure, however, it is much less damaging to nails than traditional gel. It is an excellent technique that can last up to an entire month without chips or breaks, or even the need for additional coats. If you are wondering whether shellac nails are right for you, here is some information that you may find helpful. Shellac nails are amazingly strong. You can do things like wash dishes, and perform other normal daily activities for weeks at a time without worrying about breaks or chips. However, shellac nails alone will not add length to your own nails. You may certainly ask your manicurist to apply tips, or otherwise extend your nails, before applying the shellac. But an additional step will be necessary if you are looking for longer nails. There is simply no comparison between shellac nails and a regular manicure. Not only do you not have to deal with chips or breaks, but even the mirror-like shine of a new manicure will last for weeks. Also, regular nail polish provides very little protection for weak nails, while shellac nails are impervious to most normal dangers and allow your own nails to grow longer over time. There is none of the filing down of your nails that weaken them so much in preparation for acrylic nails. Not only does that allow your nails to remain strong, but it is also much less painful. Instead of allowing your nails to air dry, which can take forever, shellac nails are set by a UV light. That means your nails are dry by the time you walk out of the salon. If you have a difficult time growing your nails because they are weak, or would just like to have your manicures last a whole lot longer, then shellac nails may well be exactly what you are looking for.
