CND Shellac Gel Polish Leather Goods 12.5ml

CND Shellac Gel Polish Leather Goods 12.5ml is a rich, saturated brown with a smooth creme finish, deep enough to read as espresso on the nail. The tone carries a timeless warmth rather than a cool or grey cast, which is what keeps it from looking muddy, and it covers to a clean opaque brown in two thin layers. Leather Goods is one of the ten shades in the CND Shellac Color Callback Collection, brought back by demand exactly as it was, unchanged and unfiltered. It first appeared in CND's Upcycle Chic collection, and it pairs naturally with the bronzes, nudes and warm neutrals already on the wall.

Benefits

• A deep espresso brown with genuine warmth in the base, so it stays rich and readable on the nail instead of flattening into a muddy dark neutral.
• Gives 14+ days of high-performance wear as the colour step in the complete CND Shellac Gel Polish system of base coat, colour and top coat.
• Wear stretches to up to 21 days when the shade is applied over CND Shellac Epic Smoothing Base instead of the standard base coat.
• Butterfly Removal lifts the coating away in minutes, with no filing or buffing of the natural nail and no nail damage when used and removed as directed. That matters on a shade this dark, where staining and scrubbing are the usual worry.
• Yields roughly 34 manicure services per professional bottle, which is where the maths works for a core autumn neutral.

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 upside down between your palms to prevent air bubbles from forming. 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. To extend wear to up to 21 days, use CND Shellac Epic Smoothing Base here instead and cure on preset 2S.
3. Shake Leather Goods 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 Leather Goods and cure again for one minute on preset button 2S. This is the layer that takes the brown to full depth. Keep it thin, as colour applied too thickly can wrinkle as it cures.
5. Roll the CND Shellac Top Coat bottle upside down between your palms to prevent air bubbles from forming. 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.
