CND Shellac: Photographic Evidence

The above photo shows my left hand on day 1 of CND Shellac. No Chips and every finger was shiny and looking perfect!

Chipped, particularly at the base, my pointer fingernail broke and nails do not look like they are freshly manicured on Day 9 never-mind 14! For me, this was not worth the $35. At all. Very disappointed in the product and the lack of response from the company.

What is YOUR experience with Shellac? Did you try another brand of 14 day manicure? Which one?
