Shellac Nail System

Hello Dolls.

I want to discuss the Nail Shellac system that seems to be the new trend these days. What makes this process unique and different from a regular polish change is that the shellac promises not to fade or chip till the wearer takes it off. It got me thinking about the validity of these claims, what shellac-ing really is and is it right for me.

I currently have gel nails which is perfect for me and my needs because I can wear my own nails while still maintaining a polished appearance. The problem arises because the polish tends to fade and chip at the tips due to frequent typing and my nails grow out quickly because I have the gel on which increases my maintenance costs to maintain the look. Lately, I have been thinking about and have come to the conclusion that I am going to take the gel off my nails and wear regular polish till I ran into the Nail Shellac System and began pondering trying this out to see if its a good fit.

What is Nail Shellac-ing
according to www.shellacnailpolish.net

Shellac is a kind of resin which is produced by a female bug known as the lac bug. This bug secretes the resin on trees which are mostly found in India and Thailand. The shellac is finally processed and then sold in the form of flakes. These flakes can be dissolved in denatured alcohol which is the finally used for wood finish, colorant or for glazing on food items. The setback about shellac nail polish is the limited number of colors to choose from. The process of applying the polish comprises of three steps which basically describes the kind of coats namely base coat, color coat and the top coat.

During the whole process, one is supposed to keep the nails under UV lights after application of each coat in order to harden the polish. The whole process is pretty simple without any hassles and one can easily resume her work after some time. It typically involves no waiting time or fanning your fingers. Experts claim that shellac nail polish does not chip during the normal course of your day to day activities which made it popular.

Shellac is suitable for people who want to maintain natural nails. The effect of the nail polish seems unchanged within 1-14 days. Nail polish with shellac proves to be durable and flexible and prevents damage of nail beds. Use of shellac nail polish is discouraged for people who are planning to lengthen their nails. Also if your nails have splitting edges or if they are peeling then you should avoid such nail polish. The best part about shellac nail polish in terms of usage is its ability to dry quickly unlike traditional polishes which usually take about 2-3 hours. This implies a great saving of your time.
