CND Shellac Gel Polish Romantique 12.5ml

CND Shellac Gel Polish Romantique is a soft nude pink colour coat that leans warm and beige rather than cool or blue-toned. Described by professional stockists as a beige pink, it settles into that useful middle ground between a bare nude and a true pink: enough pink to look deliberate, enough beige to stay quiet against most skin tones. The finish is a smooth, luminous creme with no shimmer, which is why it photographs well on hands and reads as tidy rather than done-up. Romantique is a natural fit for bridal work, corporate clients and anyone who wants their manicure to sit in the background, and it is a sensible anchor shade for a colour wall that needs one dependable nude. It is worn as the colour step of the CND Shellac system, between base coat and top coat.

Benefits

• Warm beige-pink nude that stays subtle on most skin tones while still reading as a finished manicure rather than bare nails.
• Smooth, luminous creme finish with no shimmer, which suits bridal, corporate and everyday wear.
• Wears 14+ days as the colour step in the complete CND Shellac system of base coat, colour and top coat.
• Goes to up to 21 days of wear when applied over CND Shellac Epic Smoothing Base rather than the standard base coat.
• Cures in one minute per layer on preset 2S under a CND Lamp, so the client leaves instantly dry.
• Butterfly Removal lifts the coating in minutes with no filing or buffing of the natural nail and no nail damage when used and removed as directed.
• Layer a cured shade over Romantique to build custom nudes from stock already on the shelf, curing between layers.

How to Use

1. Shape the free edge with a fine 240 grit file, push back and lift away non-living cuticle tissue, then cleanse and temporarily dehydrate the nail plate with CND ScrubFresh on a lint-free pad. The nail surface is not filed or buffed.
2. Roll CND Shellac Base Coat between the palms, apply one thin layer to the extension edge and nail surface, and cure 10 seconds on preset button 1 in a CND LED Lamp. Leave the top film.
3. Shake Romantique vigorously, apply one thin layer to the extension edge and nail surface, and cure one minute on preset button 2S. The first layer looking slightly semi-sheer is normal and expected.
4. Apply a second thin layer of Romantique and cure one minute on preset button 2S. Keep the layers thin - colour applied too thickly can wrinkle in the lamp.
5. Roll CND Shellac Top Coat between the palms, apply one thin layer and cure one minute on preset button 3.
6. Wipe the top film with 99% isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free pad to reveal the gloss, then finish with CND SolarOil. Skip this wipe if using No-Wipe+ Top Coat.
7. To remove, saturate a CND Foil Remover Wrap pad with CND Offly Fast Moisturizing Remover, wrap each finger, and time to the top coat used. Press, massage, twist the wrap away and wipe residue with Offly Fast.
