Fictionary is a column showcasing beauty-related words that don’t exist, but should.
A few months ago, I shared my love for CND’s Shellac, a two-week gel-polish manicure hybrid. In honor of the miracle formula will be offered in 12 more shades come March, I thought it was only right to devote this week’s entry to a word coined by my friend Leah’s nail tech in Denver–“Shecrack,” when you’re addicted to Shellac. And surely you’ll be hooked on Shecrack thanks to its lack of dry time, mirror finish and 14-day wear. And don’t think this lit major “glossed over” (ha!) the fact that it’s essentially SHE-crack. That’s no literary accident.
And tell me: Are you Shecracked out? Or do you think shecrack is whack? Either way, like Whitney, I wanna see the receipts.

Yes! I am completely shecracked out! I found a place up in Boston that will do a Shellac french manicure for $35 and it lasts me about 3 weeks! I just went back to do it again(expect to spend about 10 mins soaking your nails and having them scrape away what’s left to start fresh but it’s no big deal and I didn’t feel like I damaged my nails). Nails are hard as a rock and look super shiny. May never go back!
