SHELLAC™ - On natural nails

1. PERFORM P.E.P.
- Make sure to thoroughly cleanse the natural nail free edge with ScrubFresh™

2. APPLY BASE COAT
- Where base coat goes the colour follows
- Cure for 10 seconds on button 1 in the CND™ LED lamp

3. APPLY COLOR
- Apply 2 layers of colour of your choice. Layers should be thin and evenly applied
- Cure each layer for 1 minute on button 2S in the CND™ LED lamp
- Chose a colour that is slightly transparent such as: Beau, Bouquet, White Wedding etc.
- Colour can be either whiter or pink depending on the look that you would like to achieve

4. APPLY SHELLAC™ NO WIPE+ TOP COAT
- Apply a layer of No Wipe Top Coat in a thin even layer

- Let it settle for a few seconds before curing to make sure there are pitting or unevenness of the surface of the nail
- Cure for 1 minute on button 3 in the CND™ LED lamp

5. APPLY CHROME POWDER
- Use a disposable eyeshadow brush, a make-up sponge, or a gloved finger to apply the powder
- Any iridescent Chrome Powder can be used. Here are a couple of suggestions:
Lecente: Two of a kind, Pearlescent, Two´s company etc.
CND: Lightning Bolt or Off the Chain
YOURS: Pink Pearl
- Remove any powder from the free edge either with a wipe slightly moistened with IPA or a corrector pen
- Brush away any excess powder. If not removed it will show as ”glitter” once top coat is applied

6. APPLY TOP COAT
- Apply a layer of CND Shellac Original Top Coat and cure for 1 minute on button 3
- Pay attention to thoroughly seal the free edge to prevent chipping

7. REMOVE TOP FILM
- Remove top film with a wipe moistened with TopFinish/IPA

8. NOURISH NAILS & SKIN
- Finish the service with a drop of SolarOil™ and massage into the nail and surrounding skin

SHELLAC™ - over already sculpted enhancements

1. ENHANCEMENTS
- Perform finishing filing
- Surface should be buffed with a 180-grit file or finer
- Remove dust from the surface of the nail

2. APPLY COLOR
- SHELLAC™ Base Coat can be skipped and you can go straight to first layer of color
- Apply 2 layers of colour of your choice. Layers should be thin and evenly applied
- Cure each layer for 1 minute on button 2S in the CND™ LED lamp
- Chose a colour that is slightly transparent such as: Beau, Bouquet, White Wedding etc.
- Colour can be either whiter or pink depending on the look that you would like to achieve
- If enhancements are sculpted in a opaque pink colour, just go with Clearly Pink

3. APPLY SHELLAC™ NO WIPE+ TOP COAT
- Apply a layer of No Wipe Top Coat in a thin even layer

- NOTE: Do not seal the free edge. Powder on the free edge can prevent good sealing/adhesion of the top coat and cause chipping.
- Let it settle for a few seconds before curing to make sure there are pitting or unevenness of the surface of the nail
- Cure for 1 minute on button 3 in the CND™ LED lamp

4. APPLY CHROME POWDER
- Use a disposable eyeshadow brush, a make-up sponge or a gloved finger to apply the powder
- Any iridescent Chrome Powder can be used. Here are a couple of suggestions:
Lecente: Two of a kind, Pearlescent, Two´s company etc.
CND: Lightning Bolt or Off the Chain
YOURS: Pink Pearl
- Remove any powder from the free edge either with a wipe slightly moistened with IPA or a corrector pen
- Brush away any excess powder. If not removed, it will show as ”glitter” once top coat is applied

5. APPLY TOP COAT
- Apply a layer of CND Shellac Original Top Coat and cure for 1 minute on button 3
- Pay attention to thoroughly seal the free edge to prevent chipping. A slight buffing of the free edge prior to top coat application can be an extra precaution to prevent lifting.

- You CAN use either of the CND Shellac Top Coats, also No Wipe+ Top Coat. Just be aware that No Wipe+ Top Coat and Xpress5 Top Coat are more prone to discoloration if worn more than 2+ weeks. In general, Original or Duraforce Top Coat are recommended over enhancements as they are designed to be worn 3+ weeks.
6. REMOVE TOP FILM
- Remove top film with a wipe moistened with TopFinish/IPA

7. NOURISH NAILS & SKIN
- Finish the service with a drop of SolarOil™ and massage into the nail and surrounding skin
