Reviving this thread....
So lasted a week, then got a small chip.... My fault- trying to scratch something sticky on the floor :-(
Week 2- same nail chipped a bit more.
Week 3- white tips started to discolour and could see a decent amount of growth, but still looked shiny.
Got them done again today- this time in a colour instead of French, see how we go
Also- thinking about purchasing the stuff and doing them myself....
Any pointers? I have done an acrylics course before- shellac seems far less complicated
