THE TREATMENT
What is Shellac, and why choose it?
Shellac treatment is a hybrid between nail polish and gel, applied like a polish and cured under a lamp to create an instant, hard, glossy, chip-free finish. With this professional shellac treatment, there is no waiting time for drying and no risk of smudges on the way home.
The colour stays beautifully glossy for up to two weeks, making shellac treatment perfect for holidays, weddings, and busy lifestyles. When you're ready for a change, the shellac treatment is gently soaked off rather than picked or peeled, helping to protect the natural nail. Available on fingers, toes, or both for a flawless, long-lasting finish.

FOR THE BEST RESULTS
How to prepare & keep your shine
Before your appointment
Book a removal slot if you're arriving with Shellac or gel applied elsewhere.
Remove any regular nail polish before you arrive, or let me know and I'll take it off.
Avoid cutting your cuticles at home in the days before I'll care for them gently.
Skip hand or foot cream right before your visit so the Shellac adheres beautifully.
Mention any allergies, very brittle nails or nail conditions when you book.
After your Shellac
Allow regular polish a little time to fully harden before reaching into bags or pockets.
Wear gloves for washing up and cleaning to protect the shine and your skin.
Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent lifting at the edges.
Never pick or peel Shellac off always book a gentle soak-off to protect your natural nail.
Rebook every 2 weeks (or as it grows out) for a fresh, flawless finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Shellac typically stays glossy and chip-free for up to two weeks on fingers, and often longer on toes since they take less wear. How long it lasts also depends on your nail growth and how hard you are on your hands day to day.
-
Regular polish dries on the surface and can take a while to set, chipping within a few days. Shellac is cured under a lamp so it sets instantly to a hard, high-shine finish that lasts for weeks with no smudging or drying time.
-
They're very similar both are cured under a lamp for a long-lasting finish. Shellac is a specific brand of hybrid polish known for its glossy wear and gentle soak-off removal. I'll always recommend the best option for your nails.
-
When applied and removed correctly, Shellac is kind to your nails. The key is a gentle soak-off rather than picking or peeling, which is what can cause damage. Occasional breaks between applications also help keep nails strong and healthy.
-
It's gently soaked off with a special remover that breaks down the colour so it lifts away without force. Please never pick or peel it yourself, as this takes layers of the natural nail with it. Book a removal and I'll take care of it for you.
