Essie and Shellac

I was feeling Barbie-pink this week (must be the hot summer weather), so I tested out a new Essie nail polish: Mod Squad. Love how dark the pink color came out.

On a side note, have you heard of the CND’s Shellac polish? It’s this new nail color system that uses of a base coat, color coat and top coat with a UV lamp (to dry the nails) to create a flawless manicure that last for TWO WEEKS. Here is a video explaining the product/process. And here is a story about one girl’s experiment with the Shellac polish (check out Day 14 pics).
