Shellac Remove and Replace (hands) is a complete refresh for your manicure. Your existing CND Shellac is professionally removed, nails are reshaped and cuticles are tidied, then a fresh Shellac colour is applied and cured for a neat, glossy finish that wears well.

More information

Shellac remove and replace for hands: what’s included

A one-visit reset that takes you from grown-out or chipped Shellac to a clean, even colour finish.

  • Safe removal of your existing CND Shellac from the hands
  • Nail shape refinement to suit your natural length and lifestyle
  • Cuticle tidy for a cleaner outline around the nail plate
  • Fresh CND Shellac application with precise colour placement
  • Layer-by-layer curing to set the finish and reduce smudging
  • Finished manicure that looks smooth at the cuticle area, not bulky

Best for a colour change when your Shellac has grown out

  • You want to switch shade without over-filing or picking at product.
  • Your current Shellac has lifted at the edges and needs a tidy reset.
  • You have an event coming up and want hands to look polished and even.

How the Shellac removal and reapplication is carried out

The appointment starts with removing the existing Shellac cleanly, then your nails are shaped and the cuticle area is refined. Shellac is applied in thin, even layers and cured between coats to lock in shine and improve wear. The service is designed to keep the natural nail looking neat while giving you a fresh, crisp colour finish.

Keeping your new CND Shellac looking good between appointments

  • Use cuticle oil daily to support flexibility and reduce edge lifting.
  • Wear gloves for cleaning and hot water to help protect the finish.
  • Avoid peeling or picking, as this can take layers of natural nail with it.
  • Plan your next remove and replace before significant regrowth, often around 2 to 3 weeks depending on growth and wear.

    I love the two different pinks, in Shellac on my finger nails and toe nails; waxing, a necessary evil, done with speed and efficiency. I am a regular customer and would recommend The Beauty Spot x

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Shellac removal damage my natural nails?
Professional removal is designed to minimise damage, as the product is softened and lifted away without aggressive scraping. Most damage comes from peeling or picking at Shellac between appointments.
How long will my replaced Shellac last on my hands?
Many people get around 10 to 14 days of good wear, sometimes longer, depending on nail growth and daily activities. Using cuticle oil and avoiding harsh chemicals helps extend wear.
Can you remove Shellac that was applied somewhere else?
Yes, Shellac can usually be removed regardless of where it was applied. Let your nail tech know if you have any lifting, breakage, or if you are unsure whether it is Shellac or another gel product.
Can I choose a new Shellac colour during the appointment?
Yes, you can choose on the day, and it helps if you have an idea of the look you want, such as nude, bright, or French style. If you are unsure, your nail tech can guide you towards shades that suit your skin tone and nail length.
What if my Shellac is lifting or chipped before my appointment?
Try not to pick at the lifted area, as it can pull at the natural nail. If possible, keep the edge smooth with light filing and leave the rest for professional removal.
