1. Preparation and base coat
Clean and thoroughly dry the natural nails. Gently push back cuticles, shape the nails, and remove surface oils using a suitable nail cleanser.
Apply a thin layer of CND Shellac Base Coat and cure under a UV/LED lamp according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Colour
Apply a thin, even layer of CND Shellac Color Coat and cure.
Repeat with a second thin layer if needed, curing each layer separately to achieve full, even colour coverage.
3. Top coat and finish
Apply CND Shellac Top Coat and cure to seal the colour. The top coat enhances shine, locks in colour for extended wear, and helps protect against fading or colour changes caused by UV exposure.
If required, remove the tacky layer and allow the nails to cool for a flawless, long-lasting result.
How to remove CND Shellac
Gently break the top coat seal using a fine nail file or buffer.
Soak cotton pads with CND Shellac Remover or acetone and place them on the nails.
Wrap each nail securely with foil or removal wraps and allow to soak for approximately 10–15 minutes.
Carefully remove the wraps and gently push off the softened product using an orangewood stick or pusher.
Lightly buff if needed and finish by applying cuticle oil to rehydrate the nails and surrounding skin.
