Shellac Attack!

Well, it's about time. A company finally got it right. Shellac is the amazing new 14 day manicure. Developed by CND (Creative Nail Designs).
Yes it is a gel polish. Cures under  the CND UV light. It's easy on and easy off. Soaks off with acetone in under 10 minutes.

There have been a few salons mixing products when CND (Creative Nail Design) were sold out world wide of the product. This of course caused a lot of problems. It also tainted the Shellac name. Shellac must be applied with all its components. These are the steps that all nail techs should be doing to give a proper Shellac Manicure.

For proper adhesion. First nails are properly prepped . Nails are shaped and all cuticle is removed from the nail plate.  The CND base coat is than applied and cured for 10 seconds. The first coat of CND Shellac color (of your choice) is applied and cured for 2 minutes. Than the second  coat is applied and cured for 2 minutes. The third and final coat is the CND top coat, and its cure for 2 minutes .Finally the sticky layer that's left after curing, is removed from each nail with 100 % pure alcohol. What is left are beautiful nails, with a shine thats durable and last for 14 days.

Every client that I have given a Shellac manicure, loves the product, and loves the fact that there is no damage to the natural nail after removal.

Please beware of those salons that will mix Shellac with other soak-off gel products. THIS IS WRONG!
This will cause service breakdown and may cause damage to the natural nail during removal.
