Frequently asked questions

Do I need a base coat with CND Vinylux?

No, CND Vinylux is uniquely formulated with a self-adhering technology, meaning it does not require a base coat. Simply apply two coats of Vinylux Colour Polish followed by the Vinylux Weekly Top Coat for a durable, chip-resistant finish that lasts up to 7 days. Skipping the base coat also speeds up application and improves adhesion to the natural nail.

How long does Shellac last?

CND Shellac is known for its long-lasting wear, offering up to 14+ days of high-gloss, chip-free polish. When applied and cured properly using a CND LED lamp, it delivers a salon-quality finish that resists scratching, dulling, and peeling. Longevity may vary slightly based on nail condition and aftercare.

What is the difference between Shellac and gel nails?

CND Shellac is a hybrid gel-polish system — it combines the ease of polish with the performance of gel. It applies like traditional nail lacquer but requires UV/LED curing, offering a high-gloss finish with zero dry time.

In contrast, traditional gel nails are made entirely of gel and often require buffing for removal, which can be harsher on the nail plate. Shellac is easier to remove, usually within 5–10 minutes using acetone wraps, and is considered gentler on natural nails.

Where can I buy CND Shellac products wholesale?

You can purchase CND Shellac products at wholesale pricing directly from Salon First, Australia's trusted beauty distributor for professionals. Register for a trade account to access exclusive pricing, education, and product bundles.
