Shellac Manicure & Removal

Shellac nails are created with a special in-salon nail polish that was developed and patented by the nail polish brand Creative Nail Design (CND). Half-gel and half-regular polish, shellac combines the benefits of both', like no dry time, long-lasting results, shine, color, and easy removal. The formulas bind together when the teeny molecules (called monomers) and larger molecules (called polymers) in the formula are exposed to LED light, creating a shellac effect—hence the term: shellac nails. Shellac nails last between 10 to 14 days. Excessive exposure to water can weaken the Shellac bond. Try to limit your hands' exposure to water, especially during the first few hours after application. Stay away from cleaning products, acetone, or other harsh chemicals that can break down the Shellac and cause chipping or lifting.
