Every time I get my nails done w/Shellac, they always chip days later! I'm not sure if its my nail tech, the product or if I'm just unlucky? What do you ladies think? Suggestions? I'm over it really, just want to know if I should continue getting shellac or venture out and try something else?!

Which brand are they using? I find the only one that stays on my nails is OPI. If its opi, then maybe investigate other options. Do you submerse your hands in water often?

There is a new shellac called Gelish it comes in over 200 shades and lasts for 3 weeks. Really brilliant. Try that. It looks to me like your free edge isn't being sealed on this picture.

I have to agree with Pamela! Gelish is awesome! The color selections are great, quality and longevity are both unmatched. Try it! You will not be disappointed :)

Gelish is the bomb, and they have it almost everywhere round these parts. Just call around and ask if they have it...except for re-growth they really do last forever and they have a ton of colors and glitter!! Just don't touch them to much because it can dull the shine. Highly recommended.

Well in my case what I do is I get the shellC but clear cause I used to get the same result as you but with the clear I can change color but the regular color as much as I want w/o damaging my own

Your nail technician may be doing the coats too thick! they need to be done in thin layers and built up. ie 2 thin layers cured each is better than 1 thick.
