gr8nailz said:Again, with respect, there is so much about nail health and care that you must know, and you don't. I guess what we're trying to say here is that it's not just about application of the product. It's far more than that. Without experience and training in the proper care, health and maintenance of the nail like we professionals have acquired, you can severely damage your nails, even with an excellent system like Shellac. Just because you follow Shellac system protocol, that won't ensure that you won't encounter other issues related to nail health. Then what will you do? You're not professional trained. There is no bank of knowledge from which to draw.
Enough said. Good luck to you.
Thank you for your thoughtful post! This is what I had wanted to know that I wasn't finding when I researched shellac. I didn't think I could damage my nails if I applied shellac correctly. But I see there are many other things to take into account too. And you're right, if something goes wrong I won't know what to do or how to fix.
thanks again.
ETA: Also, in regards to what you wrote above, do you think then that for the same reasons regular polish manicures should only be done by trained professionals? Do we run into the same or similar risks when we do regular polish manicures at home?
