Manicures

[Jennifer]

I think I've only had my nails done a few times ever (proms/weddings...that's about it!). I've been reading a lot about the shellac manicures and I am really curious. My busy season with Matilda Jane starts next week and I'd love to have pretty nails for a change. Normal polish chips within days, if not the same day, for me. I need a manicure that can hold up to a couple of weeks of crazy.

Have any of you tried this and how do you like it? What colors are good? Did it last? If you have photos, would you share???

I've been reading the Pioneer Woman's take on hers, but I think hers are the actual gel nails and not shellac...I could be wrong.

Help me out?
