Shellac™ Nails in Napa



Say "hello" to Shellac Nails, the hottest way to show off beautiful nails. A nail polish that doesn't chip and is basically the Holy Grail of
"Mani-pedi's"... The nail salon industry claims to have found "It" in Shellac. Experience the manicure treatment with high mirror shine, shimmer and sparkle at the Greenhaus Spa in Napa.

Offering a full spectrum of shades and effects, you can select a natural look, or a more brilliant color, then add a shimmer or shine finish. The patent-pending formulation of solvents, monomers and polymers is why Shellac™ goes on like polish, wears like gel and removes in minutes. Plus it's hypoallergenic and 3-FREE... containing no formaldehyde, toluene or DBP.

Voted as the Best New Product of the Year in Nails Magazine’s Readers Choice Awards! Shellac lives up to its promise of:

• 14-day flawless wear

• Mirror shine

• Easy, non-damaging removal

Shellac—stands miles apart from others in the market with the science and testing to back it up. Nail Professionals that participated in more than 4 years of controlled, blind testing said unanimously—there’s no comparison—not even close!

What makes Shallac so different?

The product is thin and strong enough to be applied similarly to nail polish, but it is cured in a way that gives it great flexibility and durability. It also has the incredible shine associated only with gel nails.

Who is Shellac best suited for?

Shellac is for people who want to maintain natural nails. The formulation looks as good from day 1 to day 14, but does not appear to damage nail beds.

Who is Shellac least suited for?

Those looking to lengthen their nails. You cannot use Shellac to create a longer nail. Also, Shellac isn't for clients with extremely damaged nail beds, split or peeling nails. It is best to get on a corrective program with your manicurist before thinking about Shellac. If your nail is peeling off, it will take Shellac with it.

How is Shellac different from the traditional polish manicure?

Typical nail polish dries by evaporation, which means your manicure is not cured until 2-3 hours after your service. Think about it – most of your manicure time is spent waiting for polish to dry.

But Shellac is cured by UV light, and within minutes. Your nails are completely dry by the time your manicure is over, and strong enough to withstand accidental knocks. It acts like a plasticized coating, suitable as a long lasting polish.

How is a Shellac service different from traditional nail enhancements (fake nails)?

Drills are never used or needed with Shellac, and removal does not leave nails dry, thin, possibly torn.

Can you take Shellac off at home?

You can. It requires the use of 100% acetone. Removal at home can be done; proper removal is only 10 minutes overall. However, removal at the salon very minimally increases the time and may be less of an inconvenience for you.

Wait, what is wrong with artificial nails?

On the whole, nothing. But as a manicurist and proponent of natural and organic, there is nothing more exciting than seeing natural nails on a client. The gel application manicure has grown in popularity over the last couple of years which is supposed to provide the long wear of an acrylic without the accompanying nail damage, however the polish can only be taken off by visiting a salon and drowning one's fingers in acetone.

Offering a wide range of colors, this will be your longest wearing manicure ever. Have a Shellac Nail manicure at the Greenhaus Spa, your neighborhood day spa in Napa.
