Surely everyone has heard this phrase. Most likely, you have seen the sample pictures. But what is a shellac coating? If you haven't pampered yourself with a persistent shellac manicure yet, and your knowledge about it is the most general, it's time to learn more about this miracle invention and, perhaps, sign up for a manicure.The word shellac has firmly entered the lexicon of all fashionistas and has become a household name, although initially it was the name of the company that first released a line of lacquers for long-term manicure. So, shellac is a kind of hybrid combination of varnish and gel in one bottle. That is, during the manicure, your nails will not be extended (in the classical representation of the concept of "extension"), instead they will apply a color coating. In several stages. As a result, the nails will seem a little thicker, a little more well-groomed and a little more spectacular due to bright and saturated shades. You will immediately notice the difference between the coating with ordinary varnish and shellac varnish, even if you make a classic French jacket! And, of course, the manicure will remain in its original condition not for a day, not two, but at least two weeks.Pros and cons of Shellac manicure are all "For"Due to the fact that the nail plate does not need to be cut off before the procedure, the nails do not thin and do not deteriorate. On the contrary, their condition only improves due to a dense coating that protects the nail from external influences. A great opportunity to grow nails of the desired length.Another indisputable advantage of shellac is safety. Such varnishes do not contain toxic substances (including formaldehydes) in their composition, which makes them as safe as possible. It is believed that even pregnant women can do shellac manicure without harm to the baby.But from this point, perhaps, we should start - the duration. The coating will please for a really long time. At least a couple of weeks. After all, shellac is not afraid of not only water, but also household chemicals, so your manicure will look great even with serious "home" loads on your hands.Shellac gives the nails a noticeably brighter color, glossy and saturated. Moreover, it will not fade over time.The coating can be applied independently (of course, you will have to tinker for the first time, and before that you will have to spend money). If you do not want to go for correction or it does not work, then you can remove the coating yourself.All "against"At first glance, an impeccable manicure has some drawbacks.Shellac coating is more expensive than a regular manicure. But it also lasts an order of magnitude longer. So can the price be called a disadvantage? There is something to think about.The procedure is quite complicated and will require you to have a certain set of tools, as well as skills in the case of a home manicure.The procedure is quite lengthy. But it should also be done less often than the usual manicure. So, we cross out the minuses.Despite the enviable durability of shellac, the coating is still subject to some collisions. During the temperature effects on the hands (bathroom, cleaning and washing dishes with gloves), the nail expands slightly. After that, it returns to its natural state again. Such deformation (even the most minimal) can lead to the formation of micro-cracks in the coating. That's the problem. If water and dirt penetrate into the cracks of the coating, their combination can lead to the proliferation of bacteria on the surface of the nail (but under the coating). Shellac is a long-lived coating, so pathogens will have enough time for their subversive activities.Is it possible to do a shellac manicure at home?Gel manicure is considered to be a rather complicated procedure related to salon.
