FAQs
What Is Shellac Nails? ›
Shellac polishes mix two types of nail coating: gel (for durability and nail protection) and traditional nail polish (for color and shine).
Is shellac good or bad for your nails? ›Gel and shellac manicures are chip resistant and lasting, but they can also cause nail brittleness, peeling, and cracking. To keep your nails healthy before, during, and after your manicures, apply the Nourish My Cuticles - Nail and Cuticle Oil to strengthen, hydrate, and repair your cuticles and nails.
How long does shellac nails last? ›Shellac was the first hybrid polish, produced by CND, and you can expect manicures to last about two weeks. Some may find that the chip-free finish lasts longer than this, but it's recommended that you get them removed after 14 days as by this time your own nail will have started to grow out.
Are shellac nails better than acrylic? ›The round up. If you have strong natural nails, shellac is a top option that will be kind to your nails on removal, with a beautiful natural finish. If you're looking for something that will last for a longer period, say a honeymoon or holiday – go for gel. If you have weak nails, or want some drama – go for acrylics.
What are the pros and cons of shellac nails? ›- You'll Love the Look. ...
- You Have Many Choices. ...
- They Protect Your Nails. ...
- They're Easy to Remove—Just Not Yourself. ...
- You Don't Need to Rough Up the Nail Bed. ...

Shellac is not very durable and is prone to damage. This finish is not heat-resistant. As a precaution, avoid placing hot pans or objects on it. Another drawback is that shellac is not water-resistant, hence unsuitable for areas such as kitchens or bathrooms.
Is shellac or dip better? ›The difference between Shellac and dip powder nails is their longevity, application process, and color options. Shellac nails typically last up to 2 weeks, while dip nails last up to 5 weeks. What you choose depends on your preferred method of application.
Can you remove shellac at home? ›You don't need to remove all of the top layers, the aim is to file it slowly to start loosening the product and remove the shine. Soak a cotton pad in 100% pure acetone. Place the cotton pad around your finger and wrap aluminium foil around it, do this for each finger and allow to soak for 15 minutes.
Can you do shellac on short nails? ›Our top tip for short nails:
Opt for gel, shellac, BIAB, or another semi-permanent option when it comes to your short nails manicure.
If you're planning to remove your semi-permanent polish at home, go for shellac nails so you have less chance of ruining your natural nail. But if you're after a particular shade and can't find it in the shellac nails collection, go for gels — just get a professional to remove them, later.
Why not to use shellac? ›
Not Ultra-Durable: Shellac is definitely durable, but it's more susceptible to damage than lacquer, polyurethane, or epoxy finishes. For super high-use projects, shellac might not be up to the task. Not Heat Resistant: Concentrated heat can damage the finish — whether it's a cup of hot coffee or unrelenting sunlight.
Why does my shellac peel off after two days? ›Shellac manicure starts peeling within a day or 2:
Your tech may have not dehydrated your nail bed well enough. You don't always need to rough up the nail but the natural shine should be buffed down first (unless you are using Shellac brand gel polish they require no buffing). The polish might be older.
Shellac is much less damaging to nails than traditional gels (or acrylics), and if your goal isn't to make your nails longer, then they're a great choice. Shellac looks like a thick glossy gel polish, and the main benefit is that it reduces chipping.
Is shellac UV light harmful? ›Lamps that emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation are standard in some nail salons to speed-dry regular manicures and to set gel manicures. These lamps can be called UV lamps or LED lamps and both emit UV radiation, predominantly UVA rays which have been linked to increased risk of skin cancer.
