Shellac Manicure Pedicure

Shellac manicures have quickly become one of the hottest trends, offering beautiful results with long-term wearability. A shellac manicure uses hybrid gel polish that cures under UV light to achieve this impressive feat.

Shellac nails may last longer than traditional nail polish, but improper removal can be damaging. Seney suggests having a manicurist use filing and soaking techniques instead of picking at them when taking care to take off Shellac nails.

Base Coat

Shellac nails are known for their long lifespan and glossy finish, keeping their polish looking brand new day after day. Their durability makes them suitable for busy lifestyles with frequent activities like washing dishes or working hands; with no touch ups required within two weeks! For these reasons alone they make a fantastic alternative to acrylic nails.

CND Shellac nail polish boasts a low odor compared to traditional nail polish, as it contains no harmful chemicals, making it safer for your nails. Furthermore, it cures quickly under an LED lamp for faster application and reduced downtime.

When it comes to taking off a Shellac manicure, it is crucial not to peel or pick at the polish – this can damage natural nails and lead to them becoming brittle. Instead, a professional will use an acetone-based remover to soak and dissolve all layers of polish, before wrapping each nail individually in cotton balls and aluminum foil for 10 minutes and gently wiping off with minimal scraping or scrubbing required.

Color Coat

Shellac polish provides beautiful, glossy nails that look professionally manicured for weeks after being applied. In addition, its strength-building benefits help prevent breakage while encouraging healthy nail growth – unlike regular nail polish, shellac doesn’t chip!

For optimal color results, it’s crucial to apply Shellac polish in thin layers for best results. This helps eliminate streaking and pooling as well as ensure proper curing which results in an impeccable finish.

Once the color coat has set, a Shellac top coat should be applied and cured again to seal in its color and add shine. After this step is complete, nails must be wiped with a lint-free wipe to remove any sticky residue before wiping down with alcohol-soaked cotton pads to complete this step – the job is finished!

Top Coat

Shellac nails dry very quickly under ultraviolet light, without harming natural nails like gel polishes do. However, if not regularly nourished with hand moisturizers they may chip.

Creative Nail Design (CND) created Shellac as a hybrid nail polish and gel product, featuring thinner consistency for more natural-looking results than full gel polishes, yet can still be applied just like nail polish. If desired, UV light treatment can further strengthen this hybrid product for increased strength.

Shellac nail polish does not require buffing or filing before curing. Instead, just one thin coat is applied over an existing coat and covered by a protective topcoat for a shiny, protective finish that lasts 14+ days if you avoid anything that could smudge it or ruin it; such as picking at it when its color lifts; picking damages the nail and allows water to seep into any cracks that appear and harbours bacteria and fungus growth in that crack.

Final Touch

CND’s UV light curing nail polish adds strength and durability while eliminating drying time, while Shellac is safe for natural nails as it contains no harsh chemicals; additionally it has less of an odor than traditional polish.

Shellac manicures typically last 14-21 days without chipping, peeling or cracking, depending on lifestyle and nail health factors. Protecting your nails against household cleaners, water and excessive hand washing is key. Wear gloves when performing chores to prevent their becoming dry and brittle.

CND (Creative Nail Design) developed and patented Shellac as a hybrid nail product to offer no dry time, long-lasting results and beautiful shine with no dry time between manicure sessions.
