I havent worn nail polish for years. I found that it weakened my otherwise strong nails.

I do SNS at nail salons only on special occasions they last longer than shellac and look nicer

I wouldn’t waste my money. If someone wants there nails done professionally well and good. I try to do my own as I won’t waste monies on nails.

I don’t have the time to do my nails at the salon, I try at home but always comes off after a few days

I heard that SNS is much better for your nails than SNS.
Either way there is an SNS specialist at Fairfield in Sydney who can do amazing designs on your nails!

No will never try too toxic and it just adds more chemical exposure contributing to your risk of disease in the future.

They should last forever. We tried to get shellac finish off a wooden ceiling in a our and wow! It is really really hard to do.

I think it just makes the nails go weak. And expensive

Shellac isn’t just for false nails. It includes getting your real nails painted. I have done this a couple of times such as when I have gone on holiday. It’s great because they stay shiny and last the whole trip. I have also discovered that it can be taken off at home – you just have to have the know-how!

I have always been to scared to try false nails

I just have natural nails

I might try it for the Christmas period as it would be great to not have to worry over that week

If only I didn’t bite my nails

I’ve only ever had my nails done once and that was because we were going to a wedding. Every once in a while I’ll get a manicure and a pedicure but can’t see the point in getting false nails. As with everything else, what works for one person won’t always work for everyone. Shellac nails are definitely not for me

I tried it once and OMG, they ruined my nails. And the upkeep — I didn’t have the time, interest or cash to keep them going. It took over 12 months for my nails to recover from being fragile and brittle.

I have had Shellac nails for about six years. I gradually alternated them with normal polish, however my nails are now very strong and I love the fact that I only need them done every three to four weeks. I get so many comments about my nails and the colours are great – people are staggered to find that they are my real nails.

I wont be trying this as I am happy having natural nails which I might add are quite long and shaped. My daughters always envy me as they look as though they are the traditional French nails but quite natural and they spend hours getting ‘the look’. From nailbed to top of finger is 10cm and the nail then extends a further 10cm – I garden [without gloves], type on my nails and have done so before electric typewriters were brought into vogue, let alone computer keyboards. My nails don’t bend and I can remember my children asking me not to cut my nails as when they are long I can feel what I touch with them, but when they are short I seem to lose that feeling and if I grabbed the children to move them out of harms way my short nails would dig into their flesh, but the long nails didn’t.

I’m not really overly interested in them.

I bite my nails way to much, but still love to have some nice nails every now and then. Just too expensive for me to maintain

Never had nails done…that not for me
