Vinylux is a new-generation gel-like polish that lasts longer than regular polishes (for up to 7-10 days) and has amazing shine but doesn’t need UV light to get cured.

Since it’s an opaque white color, it’s often enough to use just one layer of Cream Puff to paint the smile line on each nail. It instantly offers full coverage.

Note: Do not re-dip the brush. The bead created in the previous step should be large enough to coat the entire nail. Before Shellac and other gel nail polishes were invented, it was a pain to do a French manicure with ordinary polishes. Cream Puff is CND Shellac’s and Vinylux’s most famous shade of white in their huge array of nail polishes.

Step 2: CND Shellac Power Polish Base Coat Application - ensure to shake the bottle to mix and remove excess product from the brush before application. Apply the base coat to the nail plate and ensure to cap the free edge. Cure for 10 seconds with a 36Watt UV light. You can use any color in CND’s vast palette for the nail tips when doing this style of French manicure. Shellac requires a multi-step process to apply it to your nails and to ensure it looks great and stays on the nails for at least 14 days, as CND promises. Finish your manicure off by applying one layer of Shellac top coat, curing it under the lamp, and wiping the nails with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol by using a lint-free wipe. Wipe off the excess polish from your skin before you cure it with a lamp. Otherwise, it would peel and your manicure won’t hold for the promised 14 days.

You also need to apply the base coat, add two layers of the base color, such as light pink Shellac color, paint a smile line with Shellac Cream Puff or Studio White and apply the top coat, curing each layer as you go. After that apply 2 layers of the color Shellac polish, curing each layer in the lamp, before applying the next one. Colour Layer: Seal the free edge and apply an extremely thin, translucent layer of CND Shellac Luxe Colour Coat to all five nails
