Loved by nail pros and at-home users alike, the brand is trusted for durability, innovation, and beautiful color.

CND Shellac is a pioneer in the world of gel polish. With its stunning shine and chip-resistant wear, you can enjoy up to 14 days of beautiful color without the fuss. Plus, it’s lightweight and easy to soak off, so your natural nails stay protected and healthy. Trusted by pros everywhere, Shellac makes achieving that flawless manicure a breeze.

What is CND Shellac, and how is it different from regular nail polish or gel?

CND Shellac gives you the best of both worlds: a professional hybrid polish that applies as easily as traditional lacquer but wears like a gel. Cured under a UV or CND LED Lamp, it provides up to 14 days of flawless, chip-free shine, all while protecting the health of your natural nails.

How long does CND Shellac last, and what affects its wear time?
CND Shellac typically lasts up to fourteen days if prepped and cured correctly. Its longevity will depend on your nail’s condition, correct application, and daily care (like using cuticle oil), to keep nails healthy and flexible.

Does CND Shellac require a special lamp or curing process?
Yes—CND Shellac needs to be cured with a CND LED Lamp for the best results. Using a CND LED Lamp ensures your manicure bonds properly, hardens fully, and delivers that signature high-gloss shine and long-lasting wear CND is known for.

Is CND Shellac only for salons, or can consumers use it at home?
CND Shellac is made for salon professionals, but if you’re confident with DIY manicures, you can achieve great results at home with the right tools and a CND LED Lamp. Beyond Polish offers genuine CND Shellac products to both pros and at-home enthusiasts—no license necessary. 

How do I properly remove CND Shellac without damaging my nails?
To safely remove CND Shellac, start by gently filing the top coat. Then, wrap each nail with a CND Foil Remover Wrap soaked in CND Offly Fast Remover, and let it sit for about 5 to 15 minutes, depending on your top coat. Once it’s softened, simply slide off the product—there’s no need to scrape or peel—and finish up by applying CND SolarOil to keep your nails hydrated and healthy.

Why is my CND Shellac lifting, wrinkling, or dulling, and how can I prevent it?

Lifting or dulling can occur if nails aren't prepped properly, if curing is uneven, or if you skip crucial steps in the CND system. Always start with clean, oil-free nails and use the CND Base Coat, Shellac Color, and CND Top Coat together. Don’t forget to cure everything under a genuine CND LED Lamp for that perfect, long-lasting shine!

What’s the difference between OPI GelColor and CND Shellac
CND Shellac and OPI GelColor are both trusted names in professional gel-polish systems, but each offers something unique. CND Shellac has a thinner, polish-like consistency and removes quickly (usually in just 60 seconds), without the need for filing your natural nails. OPI GelColor features a thicker, self-leveling formula for extra durability and an impressive color spectrum. If you want a lightweight feel and fast removal, Shellac is a great choice. If you prefer extended wear and a wide range of vibrant colors, go with OPI GelColor.
