NOTD - Shellac Edition

CND's Shellac manicure system is slowly starting to win me over. One of the things I've always loved about nail polish is being able to play around with colors and styles as often as I want - I like changing it up. On the other hand, I'm sort of a perfectionist and sloppy/chipped nails can me drive nuts so despite missing being able to change colors on a whim, I have to say that I LOVE the longevity and durability of a Shellac manicure.

(the red is CND shellac in “Decadence” and the grey is “Asphalt”)

I had the above done last night in anticipation of a fall weekend getaway and I really like it. However, a big part of me feels totally over the whole accent nail/nail art fad. Maybe I just hopped on that whole fancy nail bandwagon kind of early but it's starting to seem tired and I've found myself drawn to simple and classic colors/shapes lately. I'm prone to changing my mind quickly about these things though so I’ll probably be singing a different tune and sporting pumpkins on my pinkies by next week. Stay tuned.
