CND Shellac Gel Polish Lobster Roll 12.5ml

CND Shellac Gel Polish Lobster Roll 12.5ml is the coral in the CND Shellac summer brights. CND describes Lobster Roll as a bright red-orange that will suit the palest of skin tones right through to the hottest of suntans, and that range is the real selling point: the orange in it keeps the red warm, while the red keeps it from going neon. Retailers file the coverage as opaque, so the reddish coral stays even across the nail rather than pooling. It is the natural counterweight to a deep blood red like Decadence on the same colour wall.

Benefits

• Bright red-orange coral that CND says suits the palest skin tones right through to the hottest suntans, so one bottle serves the whole client book.
• Opaque coverage keeps the warmth even across the nail instead of pooling toward the free edge.
• The orange cast makes it the natural counterweight to a deep blood red on the same colour wall.
• Delivers 14+ days of high-performance wear as the colour step in the complete CND Shellac system of base coat, colour and top coat.
• Custom curve-hugging brush follows the curve of the nail plate for smooth, even coverage in two thin layers.
• Works over enhancements as well as natural nails, so a single shade covers the whole service menu.

How to Use

Lobster Roll is an opaque bright. Two thin layers, each cured fully, will hold the colour even; a heavy coat can wrinkle at cure.

1. Prep the natural nail: shape the free edge with a fine 240 grit file, gently push back and lift away non-living cuticle tissue, then cleanse and temporarily dehydrate the nail plate with CND ScrubFresh on a plastic-backed, lint-free pad. No filing or buffing of the nail surface is required.
2. Roll the CND Shellac Base Coat bottle between your palms to blend. Apply one thin layer to the extension edge and nail surface, then cure for 10 seconds on preset button 1 in a CND LED Lamp. Do not wipe the top film.
3. Shake the CND Shellac Color Coat vigorously to blend. Apply one thin layer to the extension edge and nail surface and cure for one minute on preset button 2S. Applied correctly, this first layer looks slightly semi-sheer.
4. Apply a second thin layer of Color Coat and cure again for one minute on preset button 2S. Keep the layers thin, as colour applied too thickly can wrinkle as it cures.
5. Roll the CND Shellac Top Coat bottle between your palms to blend. Apply one thin layer to the extension edge and nail surface and cure for one minute on preset button 3.
6. Remove the top film with a plastic-backed, lint-free pad saturated in 99% isopropyl alcohol to reveal the gloss. This step is not needed with CND Shellac No-Wipe+ Top Coat. Finish with a drop of CND SolarOil to condition the nail.
7. To remove, saturate the pad of a CND Foil Remover Wrap with CND Offly Fast Moisturizing Remover, wrap each finger and set a timer to match the top coat used. Press and massage the nail, twist the wrap away, then wipe any residue with Offly Fast. No filing of the natural nail is needed.
