SHELLAC
So what is the difference between Shellac nails and gel nails?
The difference between gel and shellac nail polish isn’t going to blow your mind, but none the less, there is one.
‘Shellac is a patented brand of gel polish,’ explains celebrity manicurist Jenni Draper. ‘It’s a bit like calling a vacuum cleaner a ‘Hoover’, it’s just the name of one brand of polish. It’s a hybrid nail polish and gel i.e. half polish and half gel.’
Put simply, a shellac nails manicure is a semi-permanent polish, while gel is a semi-permanent gel.
How long do Shellac nails last?
Shellac nail polish is thinner than gel, so generally shellac nails tend to start to ‘break down’ around two weeks.
