Why Choose Shellac?



What is Shellac?
Shellac is a hybrid nail colour created by Creative Nail Design and is a mix of traditional nail polish and UV gel. In the words of CND:

"Shellac is the original and only Power Polish service, empowering you, the real woman, with 14+ days of superior color, no matter what life brings you. Set it and forget it. Practical and fearless. Improve your nails with an armor coat that says, "See you in 2 weeks"."

 The collection now consists of 35 stunning colours and with the ability to layer colours the possibilities are endless!


How is Shellac applied?
It is cured under a UV lamp and dries within seconds. No harmful buffing is required, instead a base coat is used to protect your natural nail and the colour coats are applied just like a regular polish. A standard treatment takes roughly 20 minutes and once complete, your nails are perfectly dry and ready to go!

Will Shellac enhance the length of my natural nail?
Shellac is not a nail extension, it is like a regular polish that lasts longer, although it can be used on top of existing nail enhancements.

How long will it last?
It will simply stay put until it grows out or you decide to remove it for another colour. It's guaranteed to last without chipping for at least 15 days, and depending on how fast your nails grow, you would only need a new manicure every 20 days or so. And as your toenails grow considerably slower than fingernails, Shellac will last literally months on them.

How do I remove it?
 You can get your Shellac removed in a salon, or you can soak a cotton pad with Acetone. Rubbing them over with a cuticle stick once the polish is softened will speed up the process.

Will it damage my natural nails?
Shellac will not damage your nails and actually helps to strengthen them, which makes it a perfect product for nail biters. If you struggle to grow your natural nails, try Shellac for two months and you'll be amazed with the results!

What if I want to change the colour for one day?
You can put any regular nail polish on top and as long as you remove it with Acetone-free nail varnish remover, it will cause no damage to the Shellac underneath. You could use a clear or nude Shellac to strengthen your nails and change the colour every day.

Get ready for the holidays!
Unlike regular polish, Shellac won't get ruined by sand and you can have perfectly manicured chip-free nails for the duration of your whole vacation!
