Shellac Nails - Worth it for Weak Nails?

[Elaina2452]

Every time I get a manicure, the ladies always ask me to get the Shellac, but I always say no. The reason is, because back 10 years ago I got the fake nails and the RUINED my natural nails. It hurt so much because my nails are weak and i promised myself never again!
I know that was a long time ago and the technique is a lot better, but does Shellac Nail Polish really work and is it ok on weak nails?

Do not use Shellac. I was tempted to get it done when I had my last pedicure because it is supposed to last a long time. After doing some research on Shellac I would not recommend it. It does weaken your nails, it is extremely difficult to get off - you have to use the same process as taking off gel nails.
