CND Shellac Gel Polish Berry Boudoir 12.5ml

CND Shellac Gel Polish Berry Boudoir 12.5ml is CND's after-dark shade, pitched in a single line: plum it up and lose yourself in the night. Although the name reads berry and the eye may read purple, CND itself ranges Berry Boudoir in the Reds family rather than with the violets, and several retailers file it as a purple - worth knowing before it goes on the wall. Like every shade in the line it brushes on like a traditional polish and cures under a CND Lamp, built up over two thin layers cured separately for full, even coverage.

Benefits:

• CND's after-dark shade, pitched as the one to plum it up and lose yourself in the night with.
• Ranged by CND in the Reds family rather than with the violets, which is where several retailers file it.
• Delivers 14+ days of high-performance wear as the colour step in the complete CND Shellac system of base coat, colour and top coat.
• Stretches to up to 21 days of wear when it is applied over CND Shellac Epic Smoothing Base rather than the standard base coat.
• 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.
• Roughly 34 manicure services per professional bottle, which is where the maths works for a busy colour wall.

How to Use

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.
