Shellac nails.. 3 weeks post chemo finishing

Last reply: 20 July 2013 11:52

I finished tch chemo 3 weeks ago and have a wedding on Saturday. Am actually bridesmaid. I am kind of feelin a bit sorry I agreed to do it. Am feeling quite self conscious of my wig and pics in general.

I was thinking of gettin my nails done as they a by yellow and have been painting them myself. But they are quite short. Don't seem to be growing. Was thinking of getting shellac nails or gel nails done. Do u think as I have finished chemo it's ok to do..

Hope ye are all enjoying the sunshine

Hi there!
Just finished my bridesmaid gig yest!
Yes I'm 7 weeks ahead of you, but I had the nails put on, the wig styled and I did have a good time!!
It was one of the first days in 10 months where cancer wasn't the order of the day!!
The make up artist and hairdresser was so nice and did exactly what I wanted.
Yes, I did get a bit tired towards the end of the night, but if you pace yourself you will have fun! Pity I can't post a pic here from yest coz it was a lovely day!
I hope you enjoy yourself too xx

Neadi - Glad to hear you enjoyed the wedding and I'm sure you looked really well.

Superwhy - Hope you got those nails done and you are all ready for the wedding tomorrow? Have a great day.
