CND Shellac Promises 14 Day Manicure

A new nail beautifying system promises to last for two full weeks. Sounds rather impossible, but apparently there seems to be some truth to it.

The Shellac System consists of a base coat, followed by a color coating and is the finalized with a top coat. In combination with the CND UV lamp they promise a breakthrough in resilient color that is supposed to remain flawless for 14-days and can be removed within 10 minutes.

Grace Gold from Stylist.com did the test. Here are her conclusions:

"I actually think that CND is playing it safe by claiming this manicure can last two weeks, because I can definitely push at least a week more out of my current nails, if not even more.

I also think this is a great option for weddings and other events. No need to get up extra early to fit a harried trip to the salon in on the day of a special occasion-- you can instead comfortably Shellac a week before and be confident that your nails will look fresh and unchipped for the big day.

The one drawback is that similar to its cousin, the gel, Shellac can only be applied in salons. It requires less skill than sculpting a gel nail, but still uses UV and removal technology that is not yet directly available to consumers."

This sounds great. Shellac is, as you might have expected, rather pricey. It's about 50% more than a regular manicure. You can find a salon that offers CND Shellac here. As the before mentioned site seems to be down at times, here a salon in Michigan that offers CND Shellac. And here a salon California: Mani Pedi Cutie in Hermosa Beach, California.
