What Is A Shellac Manicure?

  A shellac manicure is also known as a gel manicure. It involves applying gel polish to the nails and then curing it with a LED or ultraviolet light. A gel manicure is designed to last much longer than your typical manicures. In fact, the gel manicure can last up to a month without chipping. The gel polish is thicker than your standard nail polish, which is one of the reasons it lasts longer. You can also get a massage during your manicure. The massage can make your nail treatment even more relaxing. 

Is This Spa Treatment Right For Me?

  Before you go to the day spa and get this treatment, you will need to make sure that your nails are healthy. If your nails are splitting, damaged or peeling, then this will affect the durability of the nails. That is why it is best to have those problems treated before you get a manicure. You will also have to keep your nails healthy after you get this spa treatment. Apply cuticle oil to your nails twice a day. This will help nourish your nails. Wear gloves anytime that you work with strong chemicals. There are a few things you should know about the spa treatment before you go to the day spa. This treatment does not strengthen the nails. It also does not lengthen the nails. Therefore, your nails will need to be the length that you want them before you get this treatment. There are kits that you can purchase at the store and do manicures at home. However, you will get the best results if you get a shellac manicure at a day spa.
