Shellac nail available in our Northbridge, Sydney salon

So what's this new fad all about?

-> Shellac colour <-

These are the claims from Creative Nails Design:
  • 14 day flawless wear.
  • zero dry time.
  • mirror finish.
  • easy, non-damaging removal 

Shellac - on like polish, wears like gel, off in minutes!
Shellac is the breakthrough new product that has the never been seen before UV3 technology that combines the ease of polish with the permanence of gels.

Shellac™ is a true hybrid of traditional nail polish and UV gel polish.  Unlike soak-off gels it comes in a polish bottle and unlike traditional polish it cures/dries under a UV lamp.  The good news is that there is NO BUFFING.  There is absolutely no damage to the natural nail in the process. 

Shellac paints on like polish (some refer to as Shellac polish) – base coat, color, top coat – and is cured in a UV light so there is zero dry time. The colors are hypo-allergenic, and “3-Free” – no formaldehyde, toluene or DBP. Shellac comes in a range of 24 varieties of shades, from pretty French pinks and whites, to siren red and rich darks. The formula is thin and flexible like polish, so it not only looks natural, it provides strong natural nail protection with a resilient mirror finish that resists dullness and chipping, even during the most rigorous activities.

Nails Enhancement Home Care Guide

The success of any nail enhancement service is shared between the nail technician and the client. It is hard to believe but people tend to blame others for their breakage or lifting etc ... It is never one's own fault or carelessness. Human nature I guess. But on the serious note, the nail technician is 50% responsible in diagnosing the clients nail needs by performing a consultation to determine her/his lifestyle, activity level and nail plate shape, prescribing the proper service and recommending home care products and procedures. The client is 50% responsible for following the recommended home care procedures, setting timely maintenance appointments, and following any instructions or advise from the nail technician.

To keep a healthy and maintain the good look of finger nail enhancements for longer require effort from both parties.

That being said, in order to maintain your Nail Enhancements for long-term wearability, follow these simple guidelines.

- Oil nails twice per day to maintain inherent flexibility. Product that is allowed to become brittle will crack and break.

- Repetitive or severe pressure on the nail extension will lead to cracks that result in full-blown breaks. Treat your nails as jewels, not tools! Remember that they cost you money to put them on in the first place!

- Nails that are too long for your lifestyle and activity level (repetitive downward tip pressure) result in service breakdown. If your nails become too long between appointments, shorten the length with the a suitable file.

- Properly applied product will shrink when cured and create an airtight seal. Mechanical forcing of product through extreme pressure, picking or nipping rough edges will result in lifting. Use a suitable file to remove rough edges or blend any lifting into the natural nail plate. Holding the file flat to the area of lift, gently file in the direction of the lifted material until the area of lift is removed. Do not over-file! Over-filing removes vital nail plate layers and will weaken the natural nail plate. To re-seal the product, massage a drop of oil into the nail surface, then buff to a dull shine with the say a 360-grit buffer. You may also choose to buff to a high shine with a 3-way buffer.

- Fungus infections (Greenies) are caused by air-borne spores (pseudomonas bacterium) that have become trapped between the overlay and the nail plate layers. These spores require food to eat and moisture to grow. The nail plate layers contain contaminates along with the natural oil and moisture. Should any lifting occur between visits, buff away the area of lift. Do not attempt to glue the area of lift. Most instant glues are not moisture resistant. Instant glue also sets-up the instant it is exposed to air. The glue cannot ‘re-seal’ lifted material and may incorporate air-borne bacteria or spores into the area of lift. The bacteria or spores will be trapped between the nail plate and the overlay, utilizing the natural nail contaminates as food and the moisture to grow. The results are a greenish to brownish stain on the nail plate which is a by-product of the infection. Should any area of lift be too large to remove by filing, or visible discoloration is present, please call for a nail repair appointment. It is your best option to do so.

- Wear gloves when performing domestic chores, working in the garden or whenever you use cleaning solutions. Keep the harmful chemicals away from your nails whenever possible!

Nail Growth and Diet

Nail Growth Tip
The speed of nail growth is increased if you enjoy a healthy diet. It's a proven fact. Illness however, can slow it down.

I'm including some foods that can easily be worked into your diet.

* An egg salad sandwich that has lots of spinach in place of lettuce and just a little salad dressing.
* A veggie salad complete with dressing that contains lots of chopped garlic.
* A wholesome cereal (not the sugary stuff, sorry) along with two slices of whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter. Did you know that there are peanut butters on the market with no added sugar or salt!
* An omelette with cheese and tomatoes.
* Grilled chicken on a whole wheat bun.

Nail Growth and Vitamins

If you want faster growing nails, be sure that your diet is rich in Vitamins A, B-Complex, C, D, E and iron, calcium, zinc, sulfur, and the essential fatty acids.

* For Vitamin A, look for fruits that are yellow and orange or veggies that are dark green.
* For Vitamin C, chop up some green and red peppers and offer them to your family as a snack.
* For Vitamin D, look to your dairy products.
* For Vitamin E, a supplement is your best option.
* For zinc, options include kidney beans, rice, chicken or cheese

Nail polish tips

Finish with a clear topcoat to add gloss and sheen. Start with a base coat to strengthen and protect the nails. Store nail polish in the refrigerator to maintain a smooth consistency. Try not to store nail polish in a room that becomes cold. The nail polish bottles may break without warning, leaving you with a big mess.

You can do your own professional looking French manicures at home. Just buy a French manicure set or put one together yourself. Putting together a French manicure kit by yourself can be a little cheaper than buying a pre-packaged one, plus, when you make your own, you can choose your own nail polish colors. Be on the lookout though, sometimes you can find good sets on sale at your local department store. If you do, buy one, because nail guides can get expensive. Keep in mind that when you buy a French manicure set, you're usually paying for unnecessary extras, like a case or a bag. Read more here ...

How To Do Your Nails Fast

When you are in a rush, decisions have to be made. Prioritize.
Do you shape or polish? Do you quick-dry or go the long, slow route?

New formulas allow for snap decisions: Speed-dry enamels are worthy of their name (you can open mail, search for keys, or put on your tightest long-sleeved shirt within seconds), but there's a downside: "As fast as they dry, that's as fast they chip," insists manicurist Anne of Manhattan Nails, so save them for emergencies.
Eke a few extra days out of a fast-dry manicure by doing a daily touch-up with a quick-drying coat. In the other corner, there are strong, chip-resistant formulas - the torttoise of the polish race. To pick up the pace of these tougher enamels, like L'Oreal Shock Proof, carefully submerge freshly painted nails in a bowl of ice-cold water for 30 seconds to harden still-groopy polish. Light or sheer shades are best for hasty manicures, Anne says. "You can even get away with just a wide stripe down the center" rather than painstakingly painting the entire nail. If a manicure is beyond the repair of a topcoat or two, face facts and call in the remover. You can keep single-use packets of nail polish remover (Cutex and Get Fresh make them) on hand so you can strip away color on the run. When there is no time for polish, just clean underneath the nails, rub on a buffing cream, and shine them with a chamois buffer.
