Shellac Manicure - Day 13

Amazing! Day 13 with my Shaellac manicure. Still no chips. You can tell int he picture that its grown out a bit, but not to the point where it looks bad.

I heard that in NY these manicures can run up to $80...that's too much. Great thing about living in the midwest...$25 for a Shellac manicure, and worth every cent!

5 Dollar Deals at Urban Decay!

Holy deals! $5 lipglosses, eyeliners, pigments, and more...oh my! Have fun shopping!
