5. Base coat — bonding base applied for adhesion

6. Shellac/gel colour — two coats of your chosen shade, cured under LED lamp

7. Top coat — high-shine, chip-resistant seal cured under LED

Who Is This Best For

  • Active lifestyles — Shellac holds up in the ocean, at the gym, and through a working week in a way regular polish simply doesn't
  • Event clients — brides, hens, school formals. Shellac won't chip before photos
  • Those with weak or peeling nails — builder gel adds a protective layer and can help nails grow stronger under the coverage
  • Anyone who wants two weeks of not thinking about their nails — Shellac applied well genuinely delivers this
  • Clients who travel — no touch-ups, no packing nail polish, no in-hotel crises

Aftercare

To make your Shellac last the full 2–3 weeks:

  • Gloves for cleaning, dishes, and gardening — water and chemicals lift Shellac from the edges
  • Cuticle oil daily — the most underrated habit for extending manicure longevity
  • Don't pick or peel — when you're done, book a professional removal ($25, 20 min)
  • Keep hands moisturised — dry cuticles compromise the seal at the nail base
  • Avoid opening cans or packaging with your nails — the free edge is always the most vulnerable point

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Shellac last?

With correct application and proper care, Shellac lasts 2–3 weeks. The main things that shorten it are prolonged water exposure, harsh cleaning products, and picking at the edges.

What's the difference between Shellac and regular polish?

Regular nail polish takes time to dry, chips within days, and smudges easily. Shellac is cured under an LED lamp in layers — the result is a hard, sealed finish that lasts weeks and doesn't smudge or chip in normal use.

Can I add a pedicure to the same appointment?

Absolutely — we offer pedicures at Glow Narrabeen too. Booking a mani-pedi is a popular choice, especially before holidays or events. Allow 2–2.5 hours for both. Mention it when you book so we can schedule the time.

How do I remove Shellac safely?

At Glow Narrabeen, we offer professional Shellac removal for $25. The foil-wrap method with professional-grade acetone protects your natural nail. We strongly recommend against peeling or picking — it damages the nail surface and can cause long-term thinning.

Do you do gel nails or just Shellac?

We offer both Shellac (gel polish) and builder gel at Glow Narrabeen. Shellac is for colour application; builder gel adds structural thickness and some length. Your therapist can recommend the right option at your consultation.
