One surprising fact is that Shellac is actually a brand name for a gel-polish line created by CND (Creative Nail Design). It is a gel-polish hybrid that combines gel (so your mani lasts) and traditional polish (which gives colour and shine). Nail technicians usually apply 2-3 coats of shellac, then place them under the UV lamp to dry. If UV lights get you concerned, make sure to always wear SPF when having a shellac (gel-polish) appointment, as this will protect your hands from ageing effects.
When done, a shellac manicure looks natural, bright, and beautiful. Painting with shellac also lasts longer (typically up to 14 days) than normal polish. For someone who loves nail art designs and aesthetics, shellac is a perfect option.
Nail damage can be avoided by following the proper CND Shellac removal. DO NOT pick or peel, which leads to damage.
No, I don't offer the removal of products from other salons. Please have removed before your appointment and arrive with bare nails.
No, I find it doesn't last as long, and 99.9% of my clientele request gel polish. If you would prefer to have a traditional polish, you are more than welcome to bring a polish along with you, and I can apply it. Please don't bring any old, gluggy polishes, though, I want your manicure to look as perfect as possible.
