Shellac can be used in any way you would normally use polish
Shellac steps on enhancements Shellac can be used over Liquid & Powder or Gel Enhancements. 1. Complete fine finishing of the enhancements stopping short of SolarOil™ application. • For Liquid & Powder enhancements, refrain from bringing them to a high shine with a high shine buffer. Leave nails smoothed and refined with a 1200 grit buffer, like the Koala Buffer. • For Brisa Gel enhancements, seal with Brisa Gloss and leave the sticky inhibition layer on the nail. Do not apply Shellac UV Base Coat, go straight to the Color Coat. Shellac UV Color Coat Application 1. Shake the bottle vigorously to blend. 2. Apply one very thin coat to each nail surface and extension edge of all five nails on one hand. (This layer will be slightly semi-sheer if applied correctly). a. Remove the applicator brush from the bottle and wipe it against the bottle’s neck to drain excess product from the brush. b. Stay parallel to the natural nail and place the brush in the center of the nail slightly away from the cuticle line. c. Gently push the brush toward the cuticle line and glide down one side to the extension edge of the nail. d. Lift the brush and repeat on the other side of the nail, followed by the same steps to coat the center. e. Be sure to encase the extension edge to ensure long wear. 3. Cure all five nails for two minutes in the CND UV Lamp.* 4. Repeat the process on the other hand. 5. Apply a second thin color coat to the surface and extension edge of all five nails using the same process. This coat provides full coverage if using an opaque blend. 6. Cure all five nails for two minutes in the CND UV Lamp.* 7. Repeat the process on the other hand *If using the Brisa lamp, apply and cure four fingers on each hand and then the thumbs. Shellac UV Top Coat Application 1. Shake the bottle to blend the ingredients. 2. Apply one thin layer of Shellac UV Top Coat to each nail surface and extension edge on all five nails on one hand. a. Remove the applicator brush from the bottle and wipe it against the bottle’s neck to drain excess product form the brush. b. Stay parallel to the natural nail and place the brush in the center of the nail slightly away from the eponychium line. c. Gently push the brush toward the cuticle line and glide down one side to the extension edge of the nail. d. Lift the brush and repeat on the other side of the nail, followed by the same steps to coat the center. e. Be sure to encase the extension edge to ensure long wear. 3. Cure all five nails for two minutes in the CND UV Lamp.* 4. Repeat on the other hand. 5. Remove the top film (sticky inhibition layer) with a plastic-backed, lint-free pad soaked with 99% IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol). 6. Condition the nails and surrounding soft tissue with SolarOil™ and send a bottle home with your client for daily conditioning. 7. Pre-book your client for a re-Shellac in two weeks. *If using the Brisa lamp, apply and cure four fingers on each hand and then the thumbs. Removal from Enhancements To remove Shellac from Liquid & Powder or Gel enhancements, buff color off with a 180-grit file such as a Blizzard or Hot Shot File. As with all enhancement rebalances, be careful to avoid filing the finger and natural nail. What would you like me to scrape my Shellac with? I've had it on since April 27 so if that is true it should be nice and susceptible since it's older right? Holly L.

Date: Fri, 7 May 2010 00:39:22 -0500 Subject: NailTech:: My Gelish rep says... From: [email protected] To: [email protected] .......that Shellac can ONLY be used on natural nails.........not on acrylics....... any thoughts on this CND reps? I have Gelish on 8 acrylic clients at this very moment. As well as IBD colored SOG on a few others - no problems. You know, when you want to know the goods about another company, just ask their competition.....lol it helps if the competition is honest ;o) She also says that Shellac can be scraped right off the nail at any time...... of course she's a GELISH rep - so I'm asking here, what do you all think? Someone try to scrape off your Shellac! -- Becky F. Licensed Nail Tech KC, Mo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
