Shellac Manicure Pedicure

Beautiful nails should never be an unwelcome chore. From professional women who must present at important meetings, to new mothers whose hands are constantly covered with hot water and antibacterial gel, Shellac nails offer real solutions tailored specifically to lifestyles.

However, this new system goes on like polish and wears like gel for up to 14 days without chipping, fading, or lifting – but how does it actually work?

Cleanse and Exfoliate

CND Shellac delivers long-wear, chip-resistant color with its proprietary hybrid gel polish formula that protects nail health. Plus, its easy removal makes this one of the safest nail treatments on the market! When applied and removed by trained professionals it offers long-wear and chip-resistant color solutions.

Shellac manicure and pedicures last up to two weeks, giving clients plenty of flexibility when planning vacations, work schedules, and important meetings around their manicure. Shellac is also an excellent solution for people who can’t wear traditional polish due to healthcare worker sanitization protocols – perfect for working professionals, new mothers, or healthcare workers who sanitize their hands multiple times each day!

Shellac manicures last longer when treated properly. Soak nails only as needed and never pick or peel them – overdoing either activity causes serious nail damage and weakening. Apply cuticle oil every morning and night to keep cuticles moisturized and keep your Shellac looking its best.

Cuticle Treatment

Cuticle oil is essential to having beautiful, healthy nails. Regular application helps reduce dryness and promote nail growth for longer.

Your nail tech will begin your Shellac Manicure Pedicure by grooming and oiling your cuticles before applying a base coat to prepare natural nails for Shellac polish application and curing under LED or UV light. Next comes two coats of color application which are then cured under LED/UV light for ultimate beauty!

Once Shellac has completely set, a clear top coat is applied and then you’re free to enjoy a gorgeous, chip-resistant manicure that lasts up to 14 days!

Nail Polish Application

Shellac nails are smudge-proof and chip-resistant for up to 14 days, meaning you’ll spend less time worrying about damaging your manicure and more time enjoying it! Plus, using water or lotion on the hands won’t compromise its finish!

Under UV lighting, monomers and polymers in UV polish bind together through polymerisation to form an additional protective coating on your natural nail, providing an aesthetically pleasing yet highly functional alternative to traditional polishes. This process results in glossy yet long-wearing finish.

Mindful Women Spa‘s selection of Shellac colors ranges from classic hues to more adventurous tones, featuring sheer pinks and pearly whites for sheer color gradations, as well as organic textures which mimic marble, tortoiseshell and stone effects.

Shellac nail polish offers zero dry time upon curing under UV lighting, giving you freedom to quickly pick up a cup of coffee, reach for your handbag or use your phone without risk of ruining your manicure.

Polish Removal

Shellac nail polish is less damaging to natural nails than acrylics or gel nail polish; in fact, it’s much healthier for them and can last several days before it needs touching up or removal.

Shellac also dries faster than traditional nail polish and won’t smudge or chip, boasting lower odor and less chemicals compared to regular polish. However, you should avoid excessive contact with water as much as possible while your nails are covered by Shellac to protect their health and integrity.

Shellac can be easily removed in-salon using high-purity acetone nail polish remover. Simply soak your fingers in this solution, wrap them in aluminum foil and cotton pads, wait ten minutes, then gently push off your polish! This gentle process protects natural nails in ways other manicure services simply cannot do.
