Why I use CND Shellac™
We all have our preferences and the key points that we look for when searching for the perfect manicure. For some people, they want someone who has the flair to create artistic and original designs on their nails and some care more about keeping it simple and some want to focus more on their nail health.
Over the years I have worked with many different professional brands, each have their pro’s and con’s and deciding which brand you prefer is down to personal preference and experience.
It was an easy decision for me to use CND Shellac in the salon because I have always found it to be long lasting yet still gentle on your natural nail (when removed correctly). This is because CND Shellac is a ‘genuine hybrid’ UV gel polish. That means its formula is similar to a traditional nail polish so it can be applied more thinly. It looks like a classic polish but has the benefits of UV gel (dries instantly, is extra glossy and lasts for two weeks). The thinner application means removal takes around five minutes, max.
Other branded gel polishes are great for longevity, if anything I may even say that with proper application, gel polishes may even last 1 week longer than CND Shellac, however the removal process does include buffing over the nail which in turn can, over time, wear down you natural nail.
So for me, health of your nails has always been more important than anything else, I am confident that if you treat your CND Shellac nails with care, and understand that no manicure is indestructible, you can enjoy your long lasting CND Shellac manicure without having to worry that you are sacrificing your nail health in the long run.
