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.
What is the difference between shellac and gel nails?
A gel manicure and a Shellac manicure are essentially the same thing: long-lasting polishes cured under UV lamps. The difference is that “gel nails” or “manicure” is the generic term for nails done under a UV lamp, while Shellac is a brand of gel nails by the company Creative Nail Design (CND).

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.

Contrary to popular belief, a good manicure isn’t just about the artwork alone. Yes, rhinestones, foils, and matte lacquer take your paint job above and beyond, but it is the nail shape that really makes a manicure stand out.

Even though the name is a bit on the creepy side, coffin nails are quite elegant and stylish, especially if you like really long nails. A professional nail technician will know how to bring you the best nail salon experience with the coffin nail trend.
Why Are Coffin Nails So Attractive?

They elongate the fingers and provide a bigger canvas for nail art. And they obviously add a bit of edge to every outfit.
Coffin nails are flattering on any shape of hand.
Coffin nails are a bit more fun and adventurous than rounder shaped nails.
Coffin shaped nails have a flat tip which makes them strong and durable.
