Most chipping and lifting starts with rushed preparation. For clients looking for Shellac nails in Double Bay and Mosman, we take our time with every set, from prep to curing, so your colour lasts the way it should.
CND Shellac isn’t just another gel polish. It’s the original hybrid, thin, flexible, and surprisingly durable. Cures under LED in minutes, holds for up to fourteen days without chipping, then soaks off in about ten minutes with acetone wraps. No filing, no drilling, and gentle removal when applied and removed correctly.
If you’ve tried other gel polishes that peeled at the edges or took forever to remove, Shellac is usually a pleasant surprise.

Our team in Double Bay and Mosman applies Shellac every day and follows the same careful process for every client, from preparation and application through to safe removal.

CND Shellac is the original hybrid nail colour system. It combines the shine of gel with the feel of traditional polish and is cured under an LED lamp for a long lasting finish.
No. CND Shellac is a specific product developed by CND. While many people use the terms interchangeably, Shellac has its own formula and removal process.
That depends on what you’re looking for. Shellac is popular for its lightweight feel, natural finish, and easy removal. Traditional gel nails can provide extra durability for some clients.
Most clients get up to 14 days of wear before noticeable regrowth appears. Nail growth, daily activities, and aftercare can all affect longevity.
Regular nail polish air dries and usually chips sooner. CND Shellac is cured under an LED lamp, creating a glossy finish that lasts significantly longer and resists everyday wear.
Not when it is applied and removed correctly. Most nail damage comes from peeling, picking, or improper removal rather than the product itself.
When removed professionally, Shellac is designed to be gentle on natural nails. We use acetone wraps and avoid aggressive filing or electric drills.
No. Shellac is removed and reapplied rather than filled. A fresh application helps maintain a clean finish and consistent wear.
Most clients return every 2 to 3 weeks. The ideal timing depends on nail growth and how quickly regrowth becomes visible.
