CND Shellac Goes the Distance

Medi-Spa at Knoxville Dermatology Group is proud to announce the addition of CND Shellac polish to their list of nail services.  CND Shellac polish has everyone buzzing, from beauty and style editors to celebrities. But don’t write this off as another trend or fad.CND Shellac may be having more than 5 minutes of fame because this gel nail treatment can last up to 2 weeks without a smudge, chip and/or crack.

CND Shellac polish blends the strength and high-shine finish of a gel treatment with the color selection and easy application of a nail polish, according to StyleList.com.  During a typical gel nail treatment, thin layers of gel are applied to the nails and upon “drying” under an ultraviolet light, nails are glossy and durable for a few weeks. It is odorless and non-yellowing. The process using CND’s Shellac is the same except the formula is easily removed in ten minutes with acetone-soaked wraps that expose only the nail bed to the remover, with no drilling or filing.

The Shellac manicure simply consists of a UV base coat, two coats of color, and a UV top coat. Cuticles are pushed back and nails are prepped for color with an acetone swipe. Between each coat, nails dry under a UV lamp. Hand massages and lotion are applied after polish, so not to interfere with its application.

Many applaud the manicure because its fast-curing time relieves them from the stress of smudges. Gone is the anguish over searching your purse for keys after a fresh manicure!

After the half hour treatment, the claim is that nails will stay chip-free close to two weeks.  Since its introduction earlier this year, the claim has been widely supported by the beauty industry. Many believe CND Shellac will bring women back into the salon for nail services. In addition, this makes a great option for weddings and other special occasions. This is also recommended for those on-the-goes, but don’t have the time to visit the salon for nail “touch-ups.” And with an array of colors to choose from, it is pretty obvious why CND Shellac is becoming a favorite in salons all over the world.
