Shellac UV Polish System - 14-Day Wear

I’m addicted to Shellac gel manicures. Beautiful, shiny color that lasts almost 2 weeks without chips?? What’s not to love?? I have zero complaints; I’ll never go back to regular polish except for my toes since they don’t chip much. If anything I just wish I could do my nails at home without getting the lamp to cure these- but getting them done in a salon is easier all around anyway. They …Read more

First time I had a manicure done with Shellac in 2008 or 2009. It lasted for three days before it started separates from my nails. Half of it would be attached while the other half would be hanging off. After that experience, I thought I'd never get a gel manicure and I will definitely never try a Shellac again.
Long story short in 2011 I was back to gels. Japanese pro gels that really …Read more

Let me begin by saying THIS DOES NOT DAMAGE YOUR NAILS AT ALL. What DOES damage your nails is how you take it off DO NOT PEEL it off. This is because the polish adheres strongly to your natural nail and when you peel it off it WILL take away layers of your nail. Then it will make absolutely no sense in saying this product 'damages' your nail. Take it off properly by soaking it …Read more

I absoltely love the way this polish looks. It is very shiny and doesn't chip. The first time I used it, it lasted 16 days before it fell off of one nail. I liked it so much that I had it done again. The second time the polish fell of a nail just before the 2 weeks were up. When I got it removed, I noticed my nails looked white. The manicurist assured me that it was fine. This time the …Read more

I've been using this system for a few months now, and I'm very happy. Purchased a kit off ebay with a UV lamp, top and base coats, and 1 color for about $70 (it's been a while, so I don't remember)

For prep, I put on cuticle erasing gel (Sally Hansen), then rubbing alcohol on the nail plates. I bought lint free wipes because when fuzzies get stuck in the gel, it …Read more

The important thing to remember about Shellac is that its wearability is very dependent on the skill of the nail tech applying it (if you have it professionally done). I got a Shellac French mani (the colours were creme puff and a very sheer pink I can't remember the name of...it has a slight blue shimmer) recently and my tech appeared jittery and/or unskilled because my cuticles were …Read more

Many, many moons ago, I used to get acrylic nails because nearly every girl in my high school got them. I was fantatical about it and went almost every two weeks. That adds up plus acrylics ruin your real nails. After a few years of that nonsense, I just went natural and did my own nails. I would change polish almost every night and became quite adept at applying polish. Then I went off the rails …Read more

Wow what can I say I am obsessed with this product I love doing my nails and shellac . Lasts so long has a gorgeous range if colours and is lovely to apply !!! Buy it all the time have about 25 of them !!

I am a polish fanatic. I maintain a huuuuuggeee Chanel collection - I have some from the 80s still and they are still great. So, what am I saying here? CND Shellac is the saving grace of my manicures. I am a trained esthetician and used to own my own salon, and I have always had long wonderful nails, which I kept up by applying top coat every day and filling in chips. Then, as I got older, my …Read more

I had this done in Fedora and another color I don't remember the name. Both times the nail color didn't stay. I don't know if it was the nail tech's application, but it didn't last the whole two weeks like promised before it started chipping terribly.
