It’s not always possible to have a nail polish remover on you, everywhere. This is why we’re gonna guide you on a couple of other ways to take it off, just as well as the overall hands skin care treatments…
What is a Shellac Manicure?
If you would like a shellac nails manicure, nearly all beauty salons offer them. If you aren’t sure check out their website (if they have one) or call ahead. The procedure is so popular that salons that do not offer them are getting left behind.
A shellac manicure does not involve glue or fake nails of any kind. Your own natural nails will be cleaned, cuticles removed, and then your nails will be filed and shaped. The process is much quicker than having acrylic nails put on, or getting a fill.
Once your nails are ready to be polished, a special base coat for the shellac manicure is applied. A special high speed dryer is used to cure each coat of the base, nail polish and top coat. After the base, two coats of your selected shellac nail polish will be applied. Special care is given to coat the top edge of the nails. Finally, a top coat is applied and your nails should be cured for about 30 seconds.
What is Special About Shellac Nail Polish?
Shellac nail polish literally makes your nails stronger and, due to its composition, its less likely to chip. Most shellac manicures last 14 days or longer!
Shellac is comprised of a “patent-pending formulation of solvents, monomers and polymers.” It is applied like nail polish and wears like a gel treatment. Shellac does not contain formaldehyde, toluene or DBP and is hypo-allergenic, too
