CND Shellac - Romantique 7.3ml/0.25 fl oz

Product Information

You can also draw the smile line with a nail art stylus AKA the dotting pen tool dipped in white Shellac nail polish. If you want to make a colored smile line instead of the white one use any bright or pastel-colored Shellac instead of Cream Puff or Studio White on the tip of the nail. Step 2: CND Shellac Power Polish Base Coat Application - ensure to shake the bottle to mix and remove excess product from the brush before application. Apply the base coat to the nail plate and ensure to cap the free edge. Cure for 10 seconds with a 36Watt UV light. Cure each layer of the base color, the smile line and the top coat in the lamp after you apply them. With the flattened brush, colour a thin line along the free edge of the nail to seal and ensure complete coverage.

One of the latest trends in nail design is doing CND Shellac and Vinylux French manicure with a colored smile line instead of a white one. Put a cotton ball moistened in acetone-based Shellac removal liquid to each of your nails and wrap the tip of each finger in a piece of foil. Hold it for about 5 minutes to soak Shellac off.Using right side of brush, apply colour over right side of nail, following contour of sidewall as closely as possible from cuticle line to free edge.

Sealing the edge of the nail first eliminate product build-up during service and provides a perfect seal, even on the shortest nails. Place bead in centre of nail and glide it down to the free edge. Lift brush up, angle finger down and ease brush towards the cuticle line, putting slight pressure on brush. Glide brush towards free edge to complete centre coverage. It’s best to use lamps manufactured by CND for curing Shellac because they are set up precisely for working with Shellac.Wipe off the excess polish from your skin before you cure it with a lamp. Otherwise, it would peel and your manicure won’t hold for the promised 14 days. No need to remove the top layer of the natural nail for better bonding, like you may have to do with some other gel nail polishes. Then you need to apply a thin layer of the base coat, and cure it in the CND UV lamp, as the manufacturer suggests. Actually, some people even prefer applying only one layer of a pinky nude polish to make their nails look as natural as possible.
