Has anyone here gotten a gel manicure/shellac? I have had the CND Shellac before with really good results and a gel french manicure too with a brand I had never heard of at the salon that wasn't any good.
I have a bad habit of biting my nails and I don't get artificial nails anymore just because they ruin my nails so bad. I like to do the gel manicure/shellac so I can grow my nails out for a couple of weeks.
Those who get their nails done, what do you ask for at the salon?

I've never gotten these at the salon before... my Sister does her own... she got one of the shellac kits ... so she always does them when I get mine done... so I wouldn't have any idea what you would ask for other then do they do the gel polishes or shellac??? I wish I could have been of more help...

I'm a nail junkie, but I do my own, so I'm afraid I can't help you either. I guess I'm not sure exactly what you mean by what to ask for at a salon?

My bad, I guess I worded that wrong. I guess what I meant to say, is what do you all get done at the salon? Whether it be a shellac/gel manicure or artificial nails? What kind do you all get?

OK!! I wore acrylics til they destroyed my natural nails... so usually I just do gel nails now... if there is a special occasion or something I will go have artificial gel nails done since they aren't as hard on your natural nails... the kind done like acrylic but they use a hardening gel instead ....

I've never really had my nails done at a salon. I own hundreds of bottles of nail polish, so I can't really justify paying someone else to do my nails, haha.

I had my nails done at a salon twice - one was free and the other my daughter treated me to, lol. Both times I just got a regular mani, no gel, acrylics, or nail art. I really prefer to do my own nails, for me it's fun and relaxing. Plus I own more polish then I'll ever wear (according to my daughters) and I still can't keep myself from buying more. My favorite brand is Zoya, followed by Barielle, China Glaze, and Essie. Don't get me started on nails, I can go on forever, kinda like tan talk, haha.

What do you all think of this? I'm obsessed with chevron stripes and I love this pink color. I guess my nail lady would be able to do this!

Since we are on the topic of nails, what are everyone's favorite colors? Here's mine OPI Vodka & Caviar OPI I'm Not Really a Waitress OPI Elephantastic Pink Butter London Saucy Jack Butter London Slapper China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy China Glaze Pool Party I LOVE colors that look great with a tan! I'm a huge sucker for reds, but I could wear neon shades all year round.

I love colors that look good with a tan as well.... for the above design... I don't know if you can find it or not... but check Salley Hansens polish stickers... they might just have a pattern like that and if so you wouldn't need to pay a nail tech to do it for your... I have a really preppy argil pattern on my toes right now using them...
... but Mine would be
China Glaze : Peachy Kean China Glaze : all of the Bohemian Collection right now... I don't know there is so many....

Hmm, my very favorite is Zoya Shivon, then Nfu Oh Holo-Victorian Polish #61. I'll have to post my others later, I can't think of their names right now, lol.
