Shellac Manicure

Shellac manicure is a popular nail treatment that combines the benefits of regular nail polish and gel polish. Shellac is a specially formulated polish that provides a high-shine, chip-resistant finish that can last up to 2-3 weeks. Key Features of a Shellac Manicure: 1. Durability: Shellac manicures are more durable than traditional nail polish. The polish is cured under a UV or LED lamp, hardening the polish and making it resistant to chipping and peeling. 2. High Shine: Shellac offers a glossy, mirror-like finish that stays shiny throughout the duration of the manicure. 3. Quick Dry Time: The curing process under a lamp sets the polish almost instantly, eliminating the need for a long drying time and reducing the risk of smudges or dents. 4. Minimal Damage to Nails: Unlike some gel manicures, Shellac is designed to be gentle on the nails. Proper removal by soaking in acetone minimizes the risk of damage or peeling. 5. Color Variety: There are many color options available, ranging from classic shades to trendy hues. Application Process: • Nail Prep: Nails are cleaned, shaped, and buffed. Cuticles are trimmed or pushed back. • Base Coat: A base coat is applied and cured under a UV or LED lamp. • Color Coats: Two or more coats of Shellac color are applied, with each coat cured under the lamp. • Top Coat: A top coat is applied to seal the color and add shine, which is also cured under the lamp. • Finishing Touch: Nails are wiped with alcohol to remove any tacky residue, leaving a smooth, glossy finish.
