Alex : the brand CND lasts (in my opinion) the longest, and if your favorite nail salon doesn't have it you can order it and take it to them. One time I got a shellac manicure with the brand Orly and it didn't harden as much as the CND and it didn't last very long. Also there should be a warning NOT TO PEEL IT OFF! Because it hurts really bad :) Apr 11, 2013 at 6:39PM

Tara : I used to do shellac but it seemed my nails were too oily to keep it on. It was shortly after it had come out so I'm not sure if they just still didn't know how to do it right or not. I started getting acrylic overlays on my nail (like tips, minus the tips) and just polish it. I find the polish stays much better than shellac ever did and I have NEVER gotten so many compliments on my nails. Apr 11, 2013 at 3:49PM
