How to do CND Shellac Manicure at Home: Step by Step Tutorial

 


Every nail manicure fanatic is raving about the 10-minute magic manicure known as the Shellac Manicure. CND gave birth to Shellac a few years ago Shellac is the brainchild of a California company called Creative Nail Design, more commonly known as CND... and it works wonders and has changed the revolution of fake nails. The new manicure treatment is a smudge-proof nail color that lasts for a couple of weeks without chipping or peeling.

 

 Nails are done in the same way as a normal manicure is done.  CND Shellac polish slides on perfectly and better than regular nail polish. The CND Shellac polish will then last longer than a regular manicure for more than 2 weeks and won’t even chip during those weeks. Some people manage to stay up to 4 weeks before taking it out because they keep changing the polish as new growth comes out.

 

  • After applying the first coat which is the base, you will use the UV lamp to dry it for 10 seconds.
  •  Apply the top coat and use the UV lamp to dry for 2 minutes.
  •  Then apply the last coat and dry another 2 minutes.
  •  When the top coat is done, you get a quick shine with a soft cloth and alcohol and you're ready to go. 
  • With CND Shellac a special UV lamp is used to dry off the nails.

 

The Difference Between Gels and Shellac

 

  • There is no nail damage and filling nails when removing CND Shellac
  • Curing under the UV lamp takes about 2 minutes 


How to Remove Shellac Manicure

 

 The process requires a special wrapping process- in aluminum foil- at the salon using very strong acetone. The wrapping separates the chemical from the nail color and creates body heat to help the polish to be easily removed.

  You also have a choice of purchasing the finger wraps sold by CND. The process takes about 10 minutes. I have never done it at home myself at home but my people told me it works as well.

This is what the manager, Diana Ahern, had to say about the CND Shellac manicure removal in their website: “Some consumers report having acetone-soaked cotton placed on their nails with their fingers wrapped in aluminum foil”. Ahern does not believe that the process is approved or recommended by CND, and is as well as that it is most probably done by unlicensed, untrained and taking shortcuts.

 

The Cost of CDN Shellac Manicure

 

CND Shellac manicure costs between $20 to $40 bi-weekly and $5 to remove it without re-applying.
