Amazing French Manicure – CND Shellac

This client came in to re-Shellac, and even I couldn’t believe the results.  It had been four and a half (4.5!) weeks since I had given her a French manicure using Soft White and Negligee. She came in with one broken nail on her right index but that grew out beautifully.

I see this all of the time with color applications, but I don’t get many requests for French manicures, so it was a pleasant surprise.

How is this long wear possible? Look at the shine still on it!

Shellac is a patent-pending product combining nail polish, gel, and a new technology created by CND that blends the benefits of both to give a thin application similar to nail polish with the long lasting, high shine benefits of gel.

This formula is the only formula on the market that doesn’t require:

• Filing of the natural nail for adhesion – CND Shellac is formulated to adhere to natural nail beds.
  • The filing required for gel nails is often overdone, resulting in nail damage.  This eliminates any potential issues from a heavy-handed tech.
• Filing of the topcoat for removal
  • CND Shellac has tunnels that run from the top coat of the product to the base coat, allowing for an amazing 10 minute removal!
• Taking a “break”- done correctly, application and removal does not create nail damage.
  • The above mentioned tunnels also allow for cuticle oil to penetrate all the way down to the nail bed, nourishing the entire nail and not just cuticles

If you can’t imagine life with an extended wear manicure, you have never tried CND Shellac.  Treat yourself or give this power polish treatment as the perfect stocking stuffer.  It is the most amazing nail product to come out in ages.  But you don’t have to take my word for it.  Advertising Age recently wrote up on the product as one of America’s Hottest Brands.
