There are a few things that get us quite excited here at Gems, and Shellac nails is one of them! We have been doing Shellac for quite some time now and our clients simply can’t get enough…and nor can we! If you’re new to this style of mani and want to see what all the fuss is about, this blog post is for you. Here is everything you need to know:
What is Shellac?
Creative Nail Design’s (CND)
Shellac nail care line is a hybrid between a nail polish and a gel. The product
is applied like a normal nail varnish but uses UV light that dries it and gives
it its durability, flexibility & that Shellac great shine!
Why is it so great?
Where do we begin?! There’s
absolutely no drying time with Shellac nails. With normal nail polish, you
become redundant for the next few hours while waiting for your polish to dry,
so things like washing up, picking things up or even going to the loo is a
serious task & can cause a chip or dent in your fresh mani.
However, once your Shellac manicure
is put under the UV light, it dries instantly and you can carry on with your
day as normal! Just don’t tell your mum/dad/husband/boyfriend/kids this insider
info and let them do the dishes while you sit back and wait for your nails to
“dry”!
How long does a Shellac manicure last?
Another amazing fact about Shellac
nails is that because of the formula it’s made with, there is hardly any chance
of your nails chipping, which means that a Shellac manicure usually lasts up to
2 weeks, or longer in most cases!
How is Shellac different from other nail enhancements,
like fake nails?
Shellac is gentler on nails than the techniques used
to apply fake nails. It doesn't require a drill, and removal doesn't leave
nails weak, dry or torn.
