CND Shellac Gel Polish Negligee 12.5ml

CND Shellac Gel Polish Negligee 12.5ml is the cool half of the CND Shellac naked pinks. Negligee is a sheer opalescent baby pink: iridescent rather than flat, so it lifts the nail with a soft pearl cast instead of laying colour over it. Where Beau brings a peach warmth, it stays cool and pale, which is what makes it a natural pick on fair and cool-toned hands and a steady choice for bridal work. Semi-sheer by design, it can be worn as a barely-there wash or built for a touch more presence.

Benefits

• Sheer opalescent baby pink with an iridescent pearl cast rather than a flat sheer finish.
• Stays cool and pale where the peachy Beau runs warm, giving the colour wall both halves of the naked pink story.
• Semi-sheer by design, so it can be worn as a barely-there wash or built for a little more presence.
• Butterfly Removal lifts the coating away in minutes, with no filing or buffing of the natural nail and no damage when used and removed as directed.
• Delivers 14+ days of high-performance wear as the colour step in the complete CND Shellac system of base coat, colour and top coat.
• Prep stays fast and gentle because the natural nail surface is never filed or buffed before application.

How to Use

Negligee is semi-sheer. Judge the depth after the first cured layer, then decide whether the second should stay light or carry more colour.

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.
