What is shellac?
Shellac is a revolutionary decorative nail coating that combines the properties of gel and varnish. In 2010, shellac was patented by the CND (Creative Nail Design) brand as a product name. However, as its popularity grew, other manufacturers began to produce similar coatings. That is why this word was later used as a generic name for all gel polishes. However, it should be noted that the original CND shellac coating is highly durable. Practice shows that it retains its excellent appearance for one month, while cheaper analogs lose their attractiveness faster.
Features of shellac application in the SEIZÓ salon
Shellac coating in the SEIZÓ studio is a multi-stage process consisting of the following steps:
Preparation of the nail plate. The nail technician removes the old coating, gives the nails the desired shape and length, and processes the cuticle with special tools. Then the nails are polished, disinfected, and degreased.
Application of the base. A thin layer of the base is evenly applied to the nail plate, then it is dried in a lamp.
Application of the coating. The master applies shellac to the base in several thin layers (their number depends on the chosen shade). Each layer is polymerized under the lamp.
Top coat. At the final stage, the nails are covered with a top that gives a glossy shine and protects the manicure from mechanical damage.
At the end of the shellac nail procedure, the nail technician applies a moisturizer and gives the client a light massage.
