Shellac Q & A

Who is Shellac best suited for?
Shellac is for people who want to maintain natural nails. The formulation looks as good from day 1 to day 14, but does not
appear to damage nail beds. (see photos)

Who is Shellac least suited for?
Those looking to lengthen their nails. You cannot use Shellac to create a longer nail. Also, Shellac isn't for clients with
extremely damaged nail beds, split or peeling nails. It is best to get on a corrective program with your manicurist before thinking
about Shellac. If your nail is peeling off, it will take Shellac with it.

How is Shellac different from the traditional polish manicure?
Traditional polish dries by evaporation often taking up to an hour to dry.
But Shellac is cured by UV light, and within minutes. Your nails are completely dry by the time your manicure is over, and strong
enough to withstand accidental knocks.

How is a Shellac service different from traditional nail enhancements (fake nails)?
Drills are never used or needed with Shellac, and removal does not leave nails dry, thin, possibly torn.

Can Shellac be used with artificial nails?
Shellac can be used over acrylics, gels, fiberglass and many other artificial nails. Using Shellac over an artificial nail can extend
the life of the Shellac to over 3 weeks.

CND Shellac Information

CND (Creative Nail Design), the leader in professional nail, hand and foot beauty, is
proud to introduce the first hybrid nail color after nearly five years of development in its
state-of-the-art laboratory. Now you can say good-bye to chips, smudges, and dry time
and say hello to Shellac™ Hybrid Nail Color! This revolutionary product applies like
polish, wears flawlessly for 14 days of high gloss shine, and is removed in minutes.

Shellac™ truly is a hybrid of traditional nail polish and UV gel polish. Unlike soak-off
gels it comes in a polish bottle and unlike traditional polish it cures/dries under a UV
lamp. What is really great is that there is NO BUFFING. There is absolutely no damage
to the natural nail in the process.

Shellac paints on like polish – base coat, color, top coat – and is cured in a UV light so
there is zero dry time. The colors are hypo-allergenic, and “3-Free” – no formaldehyde,
toluene or DBP. Shellac comes in a range of 36 varieties of shade sand they keep
coming out with new ones. The formula is thin and flexible like polish, so it not only looks
natural, it provides strong natural nail protection with a mirror finish that resists dullness
and chipping, even during the most rigorous activities.

Removal is fast and simple. No soaking, drilling or filing is necessary. Ten minutes of
time in exchange for two weeks of perfect color is all it takes.
