5 Tips Nail Newbies (and Mavens) Need To Know + Spoiler!!

Put your hand up if you've avoided gels, acrylics, or other nail treatments because of concerns you have about your nail health. I'll join you!

Yes, I am a specialty nail treatment virgin because I've heard too many stories of weakened, flaking nails that look absolutely awful when the polish comes off. My nails aren't the strongest to begin with so I have always chosen simple manicures with familiar products.

However, as a busy mom and working professional, I don't get manicures as often as I'd like. I just don't have time to sit for 30-40 minutes under a nail dryer only to smudge my polish when pulling out my wallet to pay the bill!

I'd love to pamper myself a little more regularly (who wouldn't!), and I recently learned from the Shellac™ brand team that one reason some women experience problems with their specialty nail finishes is because the products are applied incorrectly or mixed with other brands that are not compatible with Shellac™. Newsflash: Shellac™ is a brand, not a technique, so if you're getting a Shellac™ manicure and your tech isn't using Shellac™ for base, colour, and top coats, guess what? It's not a Shellac™ manicure, girlfriend.

Shellac™ has developed a trio of informational videos that explain the Shellac™ manicure from application to safe removal. Want to know more?

Video #1: The Quick-Dry Test

Video #2: 14-Day Wear

Video #3: Removal Results

SPOILER ALERT! We will be announcing a Product Review Club offer very soon featuring Shellac™! We are so excited to bring this opportunity to you, but you will need to do your homework. Please watch the videos mentioned above because we'll be asking you a question about them in our qualification survey. Are you ready to #TryShellac?

Looking forward to trying CND Shellac. I'm loving zero dry time, high shine & 5 min. removal plus over 80 colours to choose from & my favourite 14 day wear. Seriously, this product is outstanding at saving time and my nails.
