Of course, such a fashionable shellac can not but rejoice with its strength, long wear and a wide selection of design and color palette. However, do not forget that these characteristics directly depend on the experience and professionalism of the master whom you have chosen for yourself.
The disadvantages of this coating
Despite such positive reviews and qualities of such a procedure, shellac has a number of its drawbacks:
- High price. It's no secret that a good manicure is not cheap, but what can’t you do for the sake of beauty? In addition, you pay not only for the design, but also for the quality of the work done. Before going to the master, carefully study his work, view reviews and do not hesitate to write directly to his clients. So you can find out much more information and determine for yourself whether it is worth going to him for a procedure.
- Although the coating is really durable, but it also has its drawbacks. The thing is that when we take a bath or wash dishes under hot water, the coating expands a little, and then tapers back to normal. In some cases, shellac can crack, which will increase over time and will accumulate dirt and dust. But all this, of course, depends on the quality of the wizard. With proper execution, the coating does not crack or deform.
In addition to the above two shortcomings, such a popular and fashionable shellac has no drawbacks. The most important thing that is required of you before the procedure is to find a good and trusted master. It is not recommended to go to beginners, as in most cases this is fraught with deformation of the nail plate during shaping, various microcracks and generally poor-quality work. It is better to turn your attention to specialists with more than 5 years of experience, about whom there is information and customer reviews.
