I started
telling this story in my last post and now I’m going to continue. Shellac is
one of my favorite discoveries though the years. I will thank my friend, who doesn’t
even know she helped me, for this discovery. For a long time she was doing her
nails in salons and then one day decided she is going to do it herself at home. She
ordered all necessary online, learned technics and discovered she likes doing
it. I thought to myself how great would it be not to paint nails every few
days, but gel was out of questions. I have very thin and fragile nails and buffing
the nails with nails buff instantly reminded me how girl in salon over buffed my
nails and I was in pain for weeks.
And so it
began my search for something that would last on my nails for weeks and no need
to buff.
And like
with all other researchers the solution came to me by chance, when I was wandering
though internet. Frankly, I don’t even remember how it happened, but I ordered
nail curing lamp and three shellac polishes from ebay. I watched a lot of
youtube videos and started to do my own nails by myself.
I remember
those first three weeks, when I first paint my nails with shellac, being the
longest three weeks of my entire life, because I couldn’t wait my nail to get
longer so I can paint my first french manicure. Oh, that was long time ago.
Since then
I hooked up some of my friends with these nail polishes, felt happy over and
over again when I didn’t had to do my nails every few days and learned a few
things.
Before I
show you my technic, I want to stress that I’m not professional manicurist and
I haven’t finished any course for doing a manicure. This is how I use these
polishes and I’m sure that professionals will find flaws.
First you need
to clean your old nail polish or dirt of your nails, put some of nail polish
remover on a cotton wipe and swipe nails. Fill each nail into desired shape; don’t
fill nails after you paint your nails.
Apply a
layer of base coat polish. No need to apply thick layers and give yourself a
time, these nails won’t dry until you don’t put them in nail curing lamp, so
you have time to do each layer neat and precise.
CND Shellac Base coat
Cure for
about 10 seconds.
For french
manicure apply fairly pink polish. Make sure you coat the tip of the nail,
because of that nail polish will stay longer on your nails. I’m not doing it
always, because significant difference in polish peeling off, but
professionals recommend.
CND Shellac Romantique
Cure for
two minutes. Most of the curing lamps have a timer, so the lamp will turn off
after two minutes.
Make a
clean white stripe on tip of the nails, french tip.
Bluesky Shellac Cream puff
Cure for two minutes.
Reapply pink
nail polish. If you want white tip to be more visible, reverse the procedure,
apply two layers of pink polish and then white tip.
CND Shellac Cake pop
Cure for two minutes.
Apply top
coat.
CND Shellac Top coat
Cure for
two minutes, put some alcohol on cotton wipe and remove sticky residue from
nails. And that’s it!
It’s easy!
Prove it!
