Shellac nail  is available In Compton Covent Garden for over a year, there are still many questions we receive, below we try to explain about Shellac manicure, and Shellac pedicure's

1: What is Shellac manicure, and Shellac pedicure?

Shellac nails is a breakthrough, patent-pending UV3 technology that combines the ease of polish with the permanence of gels. No other products in the market can stand up to the claim – on like polish, wears like gel, off in minutes.


2: What can I expect from my Shellac service?

Shellac manicure starts off with a file and shape to prepare your nails for the treatment. Your nails will then be painted and cured with a base coat, two layers of your preferred colour and finally a top coat. Once finished you are ready to show off new nails.

3: Is the Shellac formula “3-Free”?

The service price for Shellac London will vary depending on the price structure & profile of the salon. Salons in most markets will position Shellac as an upgrade to existing services, charging at least 50% more.

4: Is Shellac nail hypo-allergenic?

Yes, a low level of photo-initiators are utilised in Shellac. Photo-initiators can lead to sensitivity with some clients.

5: Is there any odor to Shellac manicure?

A slight odour may be noticeable upon application but not as strong as nail polish. After curing in the lamp, residual odour does not remain.

6: Does Shellac removal damage the natural nail?

No. Shellac nail varnish was developed and tested for years to perfect every aspect of the Shellac process, including removal.

7: Will Shellac manicure and Shellac pedicure last longer than 14 days?

Yes, however you will notice a “line of demarcation” as your natural nail grows away from the cuticle. It is recommended that you adhere to a 14 day re-application appointment, as the adhesion will increase if worn past this point, making the removal process a little more lengthy.

8: Will soaps or other personal grooming products affect the wearability of Shellac nails?

No. Shellac was developed and tested to withstand the rigours of daily wear. Are there any negative side effects of the frequency of removal with Shellac?

9: Can Shellac nail varnish be used over my enhancements (Liquid & Powder and Gel)?

No, not as long as the system is being used correctly.

10: Can I remove my own Shellac nail varnish?

No. To ensure the health of the natural nail, Shellac is a professional only service and only trained Nail Professionals should apply & remove Shellac.
