Shellac Nails Central Coast | Glow Beauty Space

Darling, your nails deserve better than a polish that chips by Thursday. At Glow Beauty Space, our Shellac nail services deliver a flawless, long-lasting finish that holds up to real life — whether that's the beach, the boardroom, or both. With two locations serving the Central Coast, we make it easy to book, easy to love, and easy to keep coming back.

Shellac is a hybrid gel-polish system that bonds to the nail for a chip-resistant finish lasting up to three weeks. It's not acrylic, it's not a thick gel build — it's your natural nail, just perfected. Glow's manicures include a gentle exfoliation, hand relaxation massage, full nailcare, and Shellac polish for total hand happiness.

What to Expect

Your Glow Shellac manicure begins with a thorough nail prep: shaping, cuticle care, and a gentle hand exfoliation. Your therapist will apply a base coat, two colour coats, and a top coat — each cured under UV/LED light. You'll leave with dry, wearable nails and hands that actually feel cared for (the hand massage is non-negotiable).

For a pedicure, the same high-quality Shellac polish is paired with an exfoliating foot scrub, relaxing foot massage, and full nailcare. Your feet will look polished and feel fresh.

The whole manicure appointment runs approximately 45–60 minutes. Pedicures take around 60–75 minutes.

Pricing

Pricing is confirmed at booking, but as a general guide:

  • Shellac Manicure — from approximately $55–$70
  • Shellac Pedicure — from approximately $70–$90
  • Mani + Pedi combo — from approximately $120–$145

Prices may vary depending on nail length, condition, or add-ons. All pricing confirmed at time of booking.

Who Is This Best For

Shellac nails at Glow are a great fit for:

  • Busy people who don't have time for weekly touch-ups
  • Beach and outdoor lovers on the Central Coast who need a finish that resists salt water and sun
  • Anyone transitioning from acrylics and wanting to let their natural nails breathe and recover
  • Event prep — weddings, formals, corporate events — where you need nails that photograph well and last
  • Those who prefer natural-looking nails without heavy extensions or builds

If your nails are brittle, soft, or damaged, Shellac is a gentler option than acrylics and can actually help protect the nail plate while it grows.

Aftercare

To get the maximum wear from your Shellac:

  • Avoid soaking nails in water for the first 24 hours
  • Wear gloves when doing dishes or using cleaning products
  • Moisturise regularly — cuticle oil applied daily keeps nails and surrounding skin healthy
  • Don't pick or peel the Shellac — improper removal damages the nail plate; always return to the salon for soak-off
  • When it's time to remove, book a soak-off appointment rather than doing it at home

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Shellac last?

With proper aftercare, Shellac typically lasts 2–3 weeks before lifting or chipping. Nail growth rate, daily activities, and how well you maintain the aftercare routine all affect longevity.

Is Shellac the same as gel nails?

Shellac is a specific brand of hybrid gel-polish by CND. It's thinner than traditional gel and doesn't require filing the natural nail for application — making it much less damaging over time.

Can I get Shellac on short nails?

Absolutely. Shellac works just as well on short nails — sometimes better, as it can help protect fragile nails and encourage healthy growth.

How is Shellac removed?

Shellac is removed by soaking cotton pads in acetone, wrapping the nails, and waiting 10–15 minutes. The product lifts cleanly without aggressive scraping. Your Glow therapist can take care of this for you.

Can I choose any colour?

Yes — Glow carries a wide range of Shellac shades from neutrals to bold colours. Ask your therapist for the current palette when you arrive, or mention preferences when booking.
