3 Week Polish - Shellac, Gelish, Geleration - Perfectly Polished Pointers!

On days when you haven’t a spare second to apply even a screed of make-up and your hair is a mess, at least you’ll have perfectly polished pointers. Thanks to the new innovation in gel-based soak-off polishes such as Shellac, Gelish, Geleration and Gelac to name a few, painful filing, splitting and breakages are a thing of the past.

Shellac - CND was the first brand name to emerge with a gel soak-off product range, which became an instant hit. The shellac name has since become synonymous with the gel-based soak-off phenomenon. However other brands have followed with similar high-quality products varying in their selection of colours and estimated curing times.

The product looks like a polish and is applied like a polish but lasts as long as a gel without the trauma of filing or grating the nail away during the removal process. Drying time is dramatically reduced, as fingers and toes are cured under an ultra violet light sometimes taking as little as 10 seconds. The quick setting formula means you can get up and go almost immediately with beautiful unsmudged nails. It also means you can put on your shoes straight after the application with no more need to walk out of the salon in flip flops. The application will stay on for 2-3 weeks, strengthening your nails and allowing them to grow freely with no splitting or breakages.

The gel-based soak-off polishes have attracted the attention of some of the highest profile celebs, with Katie Perry and Victoria Beckham among the more notable fans of the treatment. Of course it’s not limited to A-list celebs, and many of Dublin’s best salons are now providing the service at very reasonable prices with highly trained staff.
