When I took off my Shellac today I found that my nails are almost halfway grown out from that salon visit.
For those who think "Well, you have to let them take off the top layer so it will adhere.. " that is complete and utter BS. I buff my nails before applying Shellac, it adheres fine and stays as long as I don't pick at it, even with playing my ukulele pretty vigorously. And as you can see, the bit I buffed is still healthy, while the bit they took the drill to is just destroyed.
Moral? Stick to your guns on refusing the drill. I was trying way too hard to be polite (I even tipped him!) and now will still have months and months of growing out to deal with.
Sad story. Beauty is supposed to be enhancing, not destroying. It always depresses me to hear women do things that harm them, in pursuit of beauty.
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky it's growing out and your nail beds weren't hurt. It's weird how we don't want to upset the Nail tech because they're the "expert"... I still have ridges on a couple of my nails from a similar incident 3 years ago.
