Shellac is a line designed for professional salon use. If purchased though a professional distributor, information and instructions should be available from them as well as on our website.

Let’s start with the lamp, do all 4 bulbs light up, are you using a CND lamp, is all the blue film peeled out of the inside of the lamp including sides, back and top?

Sometimes you can see a change in expected performance. If you suspect an outdated bottle call the hotline and give them the batch code off the bottle 800-833-NAIL

With Shellac one of the advantages is no need for buffing! See if this video helps with removal:

Making sure to apply the base coat thin will help with ease of removal as well!

If you buffed them too thin they may need to grow out, if they were buffed only once and very gently you should be fine with some Solar Oil and a protective coating like polish or Shellac.

Shellac is the first ever professional UV-cured color coat system that features UV3 technology:
• On like polish
• Wears like gel
• Off in minutes

Shellac is unique compared to competitive color coatings. Many come in permanent options (colored gels) and semi-permanent options (colored soft gels or “soakable” gels and Liquid and Powder), but these technologies are all nail enhancements, requiring time, skilled application techniques, maintenance and additional time required for potentially damaging removal.

Shellac is formulated with Acetone Soluble Polymers (tiny tunnels) making it removable in 10 minutes with pure acetone. These tiny tunnels allow the acetone to travel all the way down through the coating and finally down to the base layer where the acetone breaks down the “quick-release” polymers releasing Shellac from the natural nail without the use of files or buffers which can be extremely damaging to the natural nail.

These tiny tunnels also make Shellac less chemically resistant than gels, liquid & powders or other enhancement products. Thus exposure to household chemicals including chlorine can affect Shellac wear. Clients that regularly swim or soak in Jacuzzis may not experience 14+ day wear with Shellac. However they should experience longer wear with Shellac than polish.
