Shellac is a type of gel nail polish that is applied like regular nail polish but requires curing under a UV or LED lamp. It is durable and chip-resistant, lasting up to two weeks without fading or peeling. Shellac is also less damaging to natural nails than traditional gel polishes, making it a good option for people with weak or brittle nails.
Shellac comes in a wide range of colors and finishes, so it can be used to create any look, from classic French manicures to bold statement nails. It is also easy to remove, requiring only a few minutes of soaking in acetone.
If you’re looking for a long-lasting, chip-resistant, and easy-to-remove nail polish, shellac is a great option. Here are some tips for applying shellac at home:
- Start with clean, dry nails.
- Apply a thin coat of base coat and cure it under a UV or LED lamp for 30 seconds.
- Apply two thin coats of shellac, curing each coat for 30 seconds.
- Finish with a top coat and cure it under a UV or LED lamp for 30 seconds.
