Shellac Nails have a unique formulation that applies like a polish, yet offers the durability of gel nails.
Shellac Nails have a mirror finish which can last around 2 weeks, zero dry time and don't cause any damage to your natural nails.
What happens during a Signature Manicure Treatment with Shellac?
A Signature manicure begins with an application of nourishing oil and cuticle cream, followed by an exfoliator, which is worked into the hands and lower arms to slough away any dead cells and leave your skin feeling smoother, softer and fresher. Your beauty therapist will perform cuticle work and file your nails, before a gorgeously thick and deliciously scented moisturising cream is worked into your hands and arms in a soothing massage.
It's then time for the Shellac Nails application
The base coat is applied using much the same technique as you would apply everyday polish; brushed on each finger from the base of the nail to the tip. Each hand is then placed under a UV lamp for just 10 seconds to set the Shellac Nails.
What colours are available for Shellac Nails?
The choice of colours ranges from pale shell pink to bright corals and dark plums, and a French finish is also available. The colour which is applied in two coats, each of which is set under the UV lamp for two minutes, before a final top coat is applied, again taking just 2 minutes to set.
Once your nails emerge from the UV lamp, they will be completely dry so there's no risk of spoiling the finish by denting, smudging or marking the polish when you slip your jacket on or rummage in your handbag afterwards.
