Shellac is the brand name for a new, patent pending nail product created by Creative Nail Design (CND). It is a hybrid, meaning half nail polish, half gel. The product can be applied similarly to nail polish on your natural nails (no sculpting or filing). It is cured through UV lighting, just like Gels.

Do shellac nails ruin your nails?
In fact, experts claim there are several points in the gel/shellac process that not only have the potential to damage your nails and nail beds (acetone, anyone?), but could also put your health at risk. Overzealous nail filing to prepare the nail for layers of gel can expose new skin to chemicals and infections.

How long do Shellac Nails last?
About two weeks. Shellac was the first hybrid polish, produced by CND, and you can expect manicures to last about two weeks. Some may find that the chip-free finish lasts longer than this, but it’s recommended that you get them removed after 14 days as by this time your own nail will have started to grow out.

Can you Ombre with shellac?
It is possible to ombre a shellac colours with a powder. For example, paint the whole nail in bicycle yellow and then blend a neon orange powder onto the top half of the nail.

Can you remove dip nails at home?
To take off dip powder using acetone, start by filing the shiny top coat layer off the nail to break the seal. Next, soak your nails in a bowl of acetone for 10-15 minutes. Once all of your fingers have soaked, take an acetone-soaked cotton ball and wipe any remaining powder off of your nails.
