Description
CND Shellac is a cross between nail polish and gel. It is to be applied like regular nail polish but must be cured using a UV lamp.
Shellac lasts much longer than your regular manicure; up to 14 days without chipping or peeling. Dry time is instant, making the application process fast and ensuring your polish doesn’t smudge.
See basic application instructions below or view detailed instructions here.

This is my favourite colour.
It is not transparent like some white nail polishes can be. I like to use 2-3 coats.

Opaque White
A white is a staple in anyone's collection. This works well with french manicure and nail art. Good coverage.

Perfect
I will so impressed with this colour, I bought more CND right away. It basically does the job in one coat or two at most, and it stays put and even. It doesn't streak, wrinkle or blob, in my experience. It worked great for my French Manicure and nail art, with my own more narrow brush. The bright white is just what I wanted too. I loved the thickness and find watery polish hard to work with.

Too thick
Like other reviews, this colour is too thick, it bubbles and shrinks after being cured. Felt like a waste of money.
