SHELLAC AFTERCARE ADVICE
I know you will absolutely LOVE your nails while you are wearing Shellac and I expect your nails to last
flawlessly for at least 14 days as long as you give them a little care and attention during that time.
We say Shellac is pretty indestructible with Normal Wear and Tear, which means you have to partner
with us by adding a little protection to your nails if doing tough jobs like household cleaning and
gardening, hobbies that are rough on your hands or using harsh chemical products without wearing
gloves; doing these things without protection can mar your Shellac service.
If you do happen to cause some damage to the Shellac coating and see any of the following signs, we
hope you find the advice below helpful.
If something you have done has caused a chip or lifted an edge of your Shellac manicure, please do NOT
pick or pull at the area, as this will cause any damage to increase. Please contact me
so that I can assess the nail and decide if a repair is necessary. Please note that repairs will be
chargeable.
If you are on holiday please be careful when using sun tan oils or insect repellent solutions as many of
these products contain solvent oils which will cause major damage to the Shellac colour coat.
Some of the more delicate Shellac colours can fade somewhat if one is in chlorinated water followed by
excessive sun (remember that chlorine is a bleach and sun intensifies the bleaching action). Dry your
hands and nails after swimming and before sunbathing to minimize any colour fading.
Please use Solar Oil at least twice a day (especially at night before going to bed) to replace lost moisture
to your skin and nails. I recommend Solar Oil which I retail at £4 and which is made to be used with
Shellac. Also beneficial is the use of any CND hand and body lotion daily. Regularly using CND aftercare
products will substantially prolong the life of your Shellac manicure and keep your natural nails and the
skin surrounding them healthy, moisturised and flexible.
If you wish to temporarily change the colour of your nails whilst wearing Shellac you can use nail enamel
over the Shellac but please be sure to use an Acetone Free Remover if removing nail polish between
appointments.
Relative to your life-style and activity level, your Shellac will need fortnightly or three weekly
maintenance as there will be obvious re-growth. At this point I can either re-Shellac your nails
(removing existing Shellac and re-applying a fresh new colour) or I can remove the Shellac completely
which takes a brief 10 minutes.
If you do decide you want to remove your Shellac please call me and let me do it safely for you in the
salon. Incorrect removal at home may damage the surface of your nails. I will be able to remove Shellac
using a professional remover and to give you a mini-manicure so that your natural nails look perfectly
groomed.
