Best nail colour for 3 week durability

    I've got shellac done a few times and find it great and long lasting except my nails grow quite quickly so the regrowth looks funny with very dark colours.
    Any recommendations of Colour you ladies find good as its growing out?!

    I've the same problem. There's a deep purple shade I sometimes get, which I love, but it looks crap towards the end of the three weeks.

    I sometimes get a nice shade of cream. Something like this. It's not one I'd pick out in the chemist myself ... but it actually works quite well, and isn't as noticeable when it grows out.

    I think OPI 3 week polish is the best for durability,after that gelish. S

    Stick to pale pinks or nude shades if you don't want to see a noticeable one otherwise, purchase the matching nail varnish to top up near the cuticle area.

    OPI and Gelish sell matching polish otherwise find a cheapy polish that is a decent match and paint over the Shellac. It won't look perfect but it will be less obvious than a couple of millimetres of regrowth.

    I always paint over them when it starts to grow out!

    Vinylux sells the same colour polish as shellac so that might be an option?

    A medium flat pink, not pearly or shimmery. Easy to patch over with ordinary commercial polish, doesn't show too obviously when growing out, and suits any occasion.
