I remember high school. When my little knock-off Keds-style tennis shoes got to
the point where they were less than white anymore, but I couldn't really afford
to buy another pair, I took my acrylic paints and smeared bright colorful
patches all over my shoes. Voila! Not just good as new, but a unique work of
art and creative expressionism.
The cheerleaders made SUCH fun of me. Not just the cheerleaders, but pretty
much everyone who ranked higher on the social ladder than myself. Which, for
the record, was pretty much everyone.
All I heard that year was what an idiot I was. How "weird" I was. And how
stupid my shoes looked.
Of course-- and I'm sure it comes as no surprise to y'all who've known me for
awhile-- I was pretty used to being called "weird" by the time I got to high
school. So I shrugged it off and wore my nifty shoes with pride. Personally, I
thought they were pretty cool.
So the next fashion season dawned, and guess what's "all the rage" in all the
teen magazines? And what all the popular girls show up at school with? I SWEAR
I am not even exagerating here! Little white Keds-style tennis shoes with all
kinds of random paint splotches on them. EXACTLY like the shoes I'd done myself
a year before that all those same girls said were stupid.
And that's the story that's running through my mind while I'm reading all these
"I can't wait for my Shellac" posts.
Haven't I had my Gelish for like a MONTH already? But CND comes out with SOG in
a polish bottle and you'd think they perfected cold fusion.
All I see is a bunch of cheerleaders wearing my old tennis shoes.
So can anyone explain why Shellac is so much better/different than Gelish?
