Shellac is a type of gel nail varnish, you have a manicure in the usual way, but each coat is hardened under a UV lamp for a few seconds, dries instantly as well so no smudging and it does last at least 14 days with no chipping, its very shiny as, or glittery if you want glitter, costs around 20.00 quid to have done and you have to have it removed professionally, though the last time I had it done I peeled it off myself once it started to chip.
