Hello lovely geeks.
I'm just getting the hang of Shellac, thanks very much to Geeg and her excellent tutorial, and although it's not chipping now I've had a nail break after two days after application. I now have a jagged edge. Anyway my question is, is it normal for nails to break with Shellac? My nails are pretty rubbish really, have been my whole life, weak, bendy, thin and peely and are alway breaking but I thought Shellac acted like a bubble wrap for nails? Or is their a limit as to how bendy and breakable a nail can be and the effectiveness of Shellac? Another note, I had to buff down the peely free edges of my nails prior to application which made my nails thinner. Are these kind of nails not suitable for Shellac? In this situation with a client would I have to bring them back and re do the nail? Or just file down the jagged edge? But then I'm thinking the edge would be left without a sealed edge? I tried searching for the answer but I couldn't find it! Thanks very much for any help you can give me! 
