Shellac, my love.

I have braces.  No, no, not the kind you can see.  The invisible kind (and not "invisible" like my "invisible" friend but "invisible" like invisalign.)  They're great because at 27 years old, I'm way too freaking old to have metal mouth.  I'm also way too vain.  Anyway, so they're great.  Except...I have to take them out to eat and when I do so, they damage my manicure.  Every.  Single.  Time.  It's expensive and exhausting to be redoing my manicure twice a week because of these braces, especially since I'm going to be wearing them for the next 15 months or so.

Hence my new discovery and my new love: Shellac.

It's about $50 or so per manicure in  nyc but it's worth every penny.  In over two weeks (15 days and counting!) I've only had 3 small chips and of them, only one is noticeable to anyone else.  Those chips are also only there because the braces literally chipped my nail, not just the polish.  Awesome.  Wonderful.  Total love.

We all knowing being a sugar means looking polished for any and all dates and now I don't have to worry about my nails more than once every two or three weeks.  Win!

Now how do I get shellac to comp me some of these for the free advertising?  ;)
