Shellac…..2 week paint is the hottest hit of 2010 and 2011. The beauty world is raving about the Shellac TM Craze. This new revolutionary product is changing the way women get their nails done. Shellac Nails TM look as good if not better than acrylic nails.
The term “shellac” automatically connotes the high-gloss varnish for wood furniture, floors and ceilings. Its nail polish counterpart functions similarly. The system offered to professionals includes a base coat, top coat and 24 polish colors that cure in a UV lamp. A Nails Magazine articleexplains how UV curing works: “manufacturers use chemicals called photoinitiators in their gels. The photoinitiators react when exposed to various wavelengths of UV light … When the photoinitiator is exposed to the proper UV light wavelength and intensity, it gives off a particle called a free radical. The free radical will initiate a polymerization reaction with the resins in the gel system.” In less scientific language, the polish hardens into a polymer – i.e. shellac (a natural plastic) – which is much more durable than regular polish.
Shellac Nails TM last up to 14 days without losing shine or shimmer. They are hard and do not scratch or smudge. When it comes time to take them off the nail, it is as easy as 1, 2, 3 and it does not damage the nail itself.
It is available in a range of colours so you can change your colour every 2 weeks.
