More information

What a Manicure With Shellac includes

A 75-minute appointment that covers both nail care and long-lasting colour.

  • Hand soak to soften the skin and prep the nails.
  • Nail shaping and tidying for a clean, even outline.
  • Cuticle work for a smoother nail plate and a more polished finish.
  • Hand and lower arm massage to ease tension and leave hands supple.
  • Shellac application, cured to set the finish and reduce smudging.
  • A high-shine, chip-resistant look designed to stay neat for longer than standard polish.

Manicure With Shellac suits weeks when you need nails to stay tidy

  • If you want polished hands that hold up through work, commuting and day-to-day tasks.
  • Before holidays, weddings, parties or a run of events where you want reliable colour.
  • If you are fed up with regular polish chipping quickly or taking ages to dry.
  • When nails look dull or uneven and you want a clean, uniform finish.

How the 75-minute Shellac manicure is carried out

The service starts with a soak, then nails are shaped and the cuticles are carefully refined. Hands are massaged to soften the skin and improve comfort, then Shellac is applied in layers and cured to lock in the colour and shine. You leave with a set finish, so you can get back to your day without worrying about smudges.

Looking after your Shellac manicure between appointments

Use cuticle oil regularly and apply hand cream after washing to keep the skin around the nails comfortable. Wear gloves for cleaning and avoid picking at the edges, as lifting can shorten wear time. When you are ready for a change, book professional Shellac removal rather than peeling, to help protect the natural nail surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Shellac usually last?
Many people find Shellac stays glossy and chip-resistant for around 10 to 14 days, depending on nail growth and how you use your hands. Regular cuticle oil and wearing gloves for cleaning can help it last longer.
Do I need to remove existing Shellac before my appointment?
If you already have Shellac or gel on, it is best to have it removed properly before a fresh application. If you are unsure, book removal alongside your manicure so there is enough time.
Will Shellac damage my natural nails?
Shellac itself is not meant to harm natural nails, but damage can happen if it is peeled off or removed incorrectly. Proper prep, correct removal, and breaks when needed help keep nails in good condition.
Can I choose the colour and finish?
Yes, you can choose from the available Shellac shades at your appointment. If you have a specific look in mind, arriving with a reference photo can help you pick a close match.
Can I use my hands straight after a Manicure With Shellac?
Yes, Shellac is cured during the service, so it is dry and set when you leave. Try to avoid very hot water and heavy tasks for the rest of the day to help the edges stay sealed.
