SHELLACED

So these are my nails 5 days after a manicure I had to get for a beauty segment for NBC. To be honest with you the manicure didn't even last a day for me.

I am the prime candidate for the new Shellac from CND. It's a polish that's supposed to last flawlessly for 14 days. It's a pro service so Jin Soon Salon and Escape Spa are the only pros who do this right now. On my feet I am currently testing the OPI gel polish. So far that's not too bad, but my feet don't take the wear and tear that my hands do.

If this product performs the way the company touts then I will give you more info. In the meantime I'm going to get this horrible polish off!!!!

Let the testing begin!

NAIL COLOR ON THE RUN

Sally Hansen is giving nail help in just a matter of a click. The nail color pen called Color Quick is just plain smart. It travels well, there's no glass involved and it's great for last minute retouches before weddings or if you don't have time to fix your mani/ pedi.

I've tried the Clear Opal Frost and the Sheer Opal Creme. I wouldn't use it for daily polish wear since the polish dies so quickly, but it sure helps me out in a jam if my nails are less than perfect.
