1. Step.

Preparation of the natural nail.

Before applying CND Shellac, the natural nail must be prepared accordingly. A simple manicure is all you need to do is to shape your nails and remove the cuticles. Before applying the nail must be degreased with CND Scrubfresh, because only on a non-greasy surface can CND Shellac last for at least 14 days.

2. Step.

Apply the CND Shellac Base Coat.

The CND Shellac base coat, or base coat, is applied thinly to the degreased nail and cured for 10 seconds in the CND LED lamp. It is important that the nail tip is also coated with the base coat.

Step 3.

Apply the CND Shellac colour coat.

The third step is to apply the CND Shellac Color Coat. To achieve an optimal colour result, the bottle should be shaken vigorously before use. The colour coat is also applied in a very thin layer, if used correctly, this layer is still slightly transparent.

Important: The nail tip must be sealed. When the CND Shellac colour coat is applied to all 5 fingernails, one minute is cured in the CND LED lamp. Then follow a further layer of the colour coat. This second coat of paint now has full coverage. Even the second layer of the colour coat hardens again for 1 minute in the CND LED lamp.

4. Step.

Apply the CND top coat.

To finish the CND Shellac manicure, the CND Shellac top coat is used. This layer is also applied very thinly again and then sealed the nail tip. The top coat is also cured for just one minute in the CND LED lamp. This final varnish with the CND Shellac Top Coat creates the so-called dispersion layer when curing. This film is easily removed with a lint-free pad soaked in UV nail polish cleaner. For final care, CND SolarOil should be applied to the nail and surrounding skin tissue.

Removing Shellac is easy and absolutely gentle on the natural nail. There are the practical CND Shellac remover wraps, and the gentle CND Offly Fast Remover.

The Shellac remover wraps have been specially developed to remove the Shellac varnish quickly and efficiently.

Due to the integrated cotton pad, the remover can act specifically on the fingernail.

After 5 minutes of exposure time, the remover wraps are removed from the finger with a slight twisting motion and any residue can be easily removed with a wooden stick.

Removal time is extended when using the Top Coats Original and Top Coats Duraforce.
