Shellac/bad practice has ruined my nails!

[Beautylu]

Hi all, I am new to the site and just wanted to share!

I've been having Shellac done now for a few months, every other week and Shellac being applied poorly/incorrectly has completely ruined my nails!

I had lovely strong nails which are now brittle and peel after several applications of Shellac but I realise, and it's only because of SG, that it's not been done correctly! My nail tech never recommended any oil, let only solar oil to me, in fact they said avoid oils, moisturisers etc to prolonge it! They don't prep my nails correctly and it's never lasted more than a week!

I am fuming, I feel ripped off and I know their practice will give Shellac a bad name and it is because of this I have decided to train in nails and offer people a professional service!

Sorry if it reads as a long rant, but had no where else to vent! X
