We do not use Shellac.

Anyone searching for "Shellac" almost always means gel polish. One is a brand, the other is the thing itself. We work with gel polish from HeyLove — here is why.

What Shellac actually is

Shellac® is a registered trademark of CND for a specific product. Many people type that name into a search when they mean gel polish — which is why this page exists. We are not connected to CND and we do not carry their product.

What we work with

We settled on HeyLove for our material and have worked with it ever since. Adding a second system alongside it would mean stocking two ranges, mastering two removal methods, and deciding at every appointment which one applies. We would rather do one thing properly.

What you get instead

A gel polish manicure: colour that lasts three to four weeks, on a nail that was prepared dry and thoroughly beforehand. Duration and price are on the page for it.

Questions

Does gel polish last as long as Shellac?

Durability depends less on the product than on the preparation. Three to four weeks is the usual case with us.

Can you remove old Shellac?

Yes. That is a service of its own because it takes time — duration and price are on the prices page.
