French Manicure for 14 Days???

So, i was doing my random errands in boston when i felt like it was time to get my nails done. after a very creepy encounter with a libyan guy at starbucks, i walked to my fav nail salon on newbury st. and sat down for a simple mani. My manicurist kept trying to sell me Shellac nails. Apparently, they are chip-proof for 2 weeks, look exactly like a normal mani, have no dry time and are perfectly healthy for your nail. When she started telling me they were gels and have been around for a year, i couldnt help but link them to gel nails (which my roommate has and the procedure didnt sound too good for your real nail). Anyways, after watching more than half the other customers get it done, i was sold. I am currently on day 2 of my shellac french and it looks like they were just done. lets see if the 14 day claim holds. How awesome would it be if it does?! pretty awesome i say.

speaking of awesome, i was at sephora yesterday (my fav place in the world), and after a brief run in with my libyan stalker, i bought 2 perfumes (Burberry Brit Shear and Escada Sunset something - i was in a fruity mood), perfekt, smashbox halo powder, laura merceier's tinted moisturizer and an impulse buy Stila blush. I was given my sephora bday gift (eventhough it was March 1st now) and to my surprise, it was a philosophy Vanilla Cake scented shower gel! now i literally have more shower gels then weeks left for graduation! i know im shower crazy but even i cant finish a bottle a week!

PS: the shower gel smells like actual cake! yum

Some of the gels...
