Has anyone tried a Shellac manicure in the CH (or anywhere else?).
I usually have the "ordinary" French but by day 3 I've usually got some chipping (and have been known to smudge a finger or two even before leaving the spa ! ). Given that I will be away for just over a couple a weeks it sounds a great solution. Anybody had an experience of one?

Hi,

I had a shellac manicure & pedicure in the LHR clubhouse in the middle of August - my manicure lasted for almost 2 weeks despite being submerged in the pool for hours each day!! My pedicure is still going strong!!! Hope this helps x

Ps they also give you an aftercare pack to remove it - saves you having to pay elsewhere to have it done.

Thanks for the welcome and hope you manage to get your manicure x

Hi

I've had Shellac a couple of times but not in the CH. Mine lasted between 2 and 3 weeks but it does leave your nails quite weak. Does look nice though!

Just an update but I had a French Shellac done two weeks ago in the CH. 4 flights later (hauling bags around airports and in and out of hire cars),in and out of water (I'm in Hawaii ) and general brutal wear and tear and it still looks immaculate with no chipping or peeling. Granted the nail base has grown a bit but as it's a French it's not noticeable. Absolutely awesome . I might try and get another somewhere when I head back to LA tomorrow en route back to Blighty.

Glad to hear it lasted so well and hope you had a fab holiday!

Mrs Ms had this done a few times and swears by it, she also found out last week that Royal Caribbean do this as well as we were drifting around the Med.

16 +days later and still no wear (apart from nail growth) - look like they were done this afternoon .

Just a further update -I've still not needed to have this re- done. Twenty three days later and it still looks unblemished with the French tips still all intact (and looking like new ). I'd definitely recommend one of these .
