CND - Shellac Xpress5 Combo - Base, Top & Oxblood (0.25 oz)

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

CND Shellac is a professional hybrid polish that applies like 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 while protecting the natural nails.

Q: How long does CND Shellac last, and what affects its wear time?

CND Shellac typically lasts up to 14 days when properly prepped and cured. Wear time depends on nail health, correct application, and daily care such as using cuticle oil to keep nails strong and flexible.

Q: Does CND Shellac require a special lamp or curing process?

Yes. CND Shellac must be cured using a CND LED Lamp for optimal bonding, full hardness, long-lasting durability, and signature high-gloss shine.

Q: Is CND Shellac only for salons, or can consumers use it at home?

CND Shellac is formulated for salon professionals, but skilled DIY users can achieve great results at home with the right tools and a CND LED Lamp. Beyond Polish sells authentic CND Shellac products to both pros and at-home enthusiasts without requiring a license.

Q: How do I properly remove CND Shellac without damaging my nails?

To remove CND Shellac safely, file the top coat gently, then wrap nails with CND Foil Remover Wraps soaked in Offly Fast Remover for 5 to 15 minutes. Once softened, slide off the product without scraping, and finish with CND SolarOil to restore hydration.

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

Lifting or dulling occurs when nails aren't prepped correctly, curing is incomplete, or system steps are skipped. Use clean, oil-free nails and the full CND system—Base Coat, Shellac Color, and Top Coat—and cure each layer under a genuine CND LED Lamp.

Reviews

I didnt realize this combo were 1/2 the normal size bottles. The color is beautiful, but top coat didnt cure. I actually had to use my DND top coat to cure my nails. Very disappointed.

Oxblood

First, oxblood is the PERFECT fall color. Second, it really was able to remove the gel polish after 5 minutes. It makes the color changing process so easy that I actually look forward to it and don't dread it. 10 out of 10 performance.

CND Shellac FAQ

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.
