- Avoid using any bleach or hair dye, unless you are wearing gloves
- Use gloves when washing up, or using any cleaning products or toilet cleaner/bleach

Shellac Gels - why and what's the difference?
Kinder than acrylic or false nails hellac Gels provide strong, hardwearing, non-chip, natural looking glossy nails; easy to remove & leaves your nails undamaged. It looks fantastic on fingers as well as toes!
Application
Unlike some other gel treatments Shellac does not require buffing, primers or bonders on nails.
A classic Manicure (or pedicure) is carried out and the the gels are applied - a clear base, 2 colour coats & a clear top gel are applied with each coat 'cured' (set hard) under a UV lamp.
Afterwards your polish is ... dry .... hard .... chip proof .... and can last for up to 2 weeks if you take care of them!
Removal
Shellac Gels are quicky and easy to remove. Unlike acrylics there is no drilling, sanding or filing & therefore no heat or discomfort. To remove -
1) top layer of gel is made matt with a light buff to the gel (NOT the nail!).
2) then wrapped in a remover patch and left for 5 minutes~
3) remove the wrap with a twist and the gel comes off.
We recommend you have gels removed professionally at the salon, or call in and purchase a home gel removal kit
Gel Pedicures
Shellac Gels can be used on toenails too! The treatment includes all the elements of a classic pedicure.
No need to remember flip-flops with a gel pedicure! Your gel polish is instantly dry .... hard .... chip proof .... you can put your tights/socks and shoes straight back on!
No nicks, smudges or dents
Proper removal and care will ensure your nails stay healthy and beautiful. Simply removed in salon or at home (using a CND Shellac Remove Tube Kit), the nails are wrapped in a pad with an acetone-mix, left to soak for a few minutes and then the gel bubbles and slides off.
Removal in-salon includes a file and cuticle tidy as well as Solar Oil to rehydrate the nails, leaving them healthy.
