CND (Creative Nail Design) introduced the first hybrid nail color on May 1st and it's already made a huge splash worldwide with record sales. Are we really saying good-bye to chips, smudges, and dry time with the Shellac™ Hybrid Nail Color? We've tried it and love it! Get the scoop on why this product changes up the game big time.
Shellac applies like polish, wears flawlessly for 14 days of high gloss shine, and is removed in minutes.
Shellac paints on like polish - base coat, color, top coat - and is cured in a UV light so there is zero dry time. The colors are hypo-allergenic, and "3-Free" - no formaldehyde, toluene or DBP. Shellac will launch in 12 varieties of shades, from pretty French pinks and whites, to siren red and rich darks. Meet the colors HERE.
The formula is thin and flexible like polish, so it looks natural and it provides strong natural nail protection with a resilient mirror finish that resists
dullness and chipping, even during the most rigorous activities.
So you're probably thinking if it's stays on so well, it's probably difficult to remove- not the case! No soaking, drilling or filing is necessary. Nails are gently swathed in individual Shellac Remover Wraps that limit finger and skin exposure to acetone by keeping it pinpointed on just the nail. Ten minutes of time in exchange for two weeks of perfect color is all it takes.
"Our chemists invented a modern solution to the normal polish inconveniences that frustrate women. Shellac is fret-free and convenient. Women can finally get their time back," says CND co-founder and style director Jan Arnold.
The service begins with a layer of Shellac UV Base Coat, which cures in ten seconds and provides the crucial foundation for the Shellac System, topped by two coats of Shellac UV Color Coat, and finished with a single layer of Shellac UV Top Coat (cured between each layer) to guarantee a dazzling finish. With Shellac, CND is also introducing a brand new CND UV Lamp, which is ergonomic, powerful, pedicure-friendly, and accommodates a 5-finger cure, adding time-saving convenience to the service for the nail professional and client. The new UV Lamp is also compatible with the Brisa™ Gel System.
