CND Shellac Wear Test Day 1 — Shellac in “Purple Purple” – right after getting it applied!

So at the Beautylish Beauty Social, I was extremely lucky and got Shellac’d! Since Shellac is known for it’s long-lasting capabilities (assisted with curing under a UV light), I decided to put it to the test! I took a picture (or a few pictures) every day that I wore it until I took it off and I lasted about 10 days. I know it could have lasted longer (the full 14 days) but, I was getting sick of it! I only had chips on 2 fingers at the end of those 10 days (both were my pointer fingers!) I found that after 10 days, there was minimal chipping and tip wear, but major growth. I think it lasts very well. Since I like to change my nail polish frequently, this isn’t ideal for me necessarily, but I hardly ever change my toe polish, so I would definitely try it as a pedicure. So, take a glimpse at how well my Shellac lasted!:

CND Shellac Wear Test Day 3 — Shellac Day 3: Extremely miniscule tip wear that isn’t too noticeable!

CND Shellac Wear Test Day 5 — Shellac Day 5: I got a chip on my pointer finger! I don’t know how I got it, though!

CND Shellac Wear Test Day 6 — Shellac Day 6: The chip kind of “grew” and more tip wear!

CND Shellac Wear Test Day 7 — Shellac Day 7: More tip wear (more-so on my thumb)

CND Shellac Wear Test Day 8 — Shellac Day 8: More tip wear and growth

CND Shellac Wear Test Day 9 — Shellac Day 9: More growth, and some more tip wear

CND Shellac Wear Test Day 10 Final — Shellac Day 10: Major growth, but everything is basically the same.

How To Remove Shellac

To remove Shellac, you need the remover wraps that come with 10 wraps and an orange stick, and some acetone (not regular nail polish remover!).

Soak the cotton pad on the wrap with acetone, wrap it around your finger and leave it on for 10 minutes. When you remove it, for the most part, I could still see the nail polish, so I thought it didn’t work. But, use the orange stick and scrape it off and it will come off fairly easily.
