CND Shellac Gel Polish Petal Party 12.5ml

CND Shellac Gel Polish Petal Party 12.5ml is a pretty, soft cream pink that CND likens to mauve mixed with a hint of rose, like a bouquet. It arrived in the ColorWorld collection, fourteen shimmer-free cremes. Placement is what makes CND Shellac Petal Party useful: CND educator Fee Wallace puts it pinker than Field Fox and a good bit cooler than Satin Pajamas, which makes it the cool-toned answer when a client wants soft pink with no warmth in it at all. It covers fully in the standard two thin layers and its creme finish keeps the result clean rather than decorative.

Benefits

• A pretty, soft cream pink that CND compares to mauve mixed with a hint of rose, so it stays gentle without turning chalky.
• Cool-toned by design - pinker than Field Fox and a good bit cooler than Satin Pajamas - which gives you a precise answer for clients who reject warm pinks.
• Fully opaque shimmer-free creme, covering in the standard two thin layers, so a soft shade does not cost extra chair time.
• Delivers 14+ days of high-performance wear inside the complete CND Shellac system, rising to up to 21 days over CND Shellac Epic Smoothing Base.
• Cures a minute per layer under a CND Lamp on preset 2S, leaving the manicure instantly dry with no smudging.
• Custom curve-hugging brush follows the curve of the nail plate, which matters most on a pale shade where an uneven edge shows.

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 on preset button 1 for 10 seconds in the CND LED Lamp, or for one minute in the CND Visible Light 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 in your CND Lamp of choice. 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 in your CND Lamp of choice.
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.

Good to know: Colour applied too thickly can wrinkle as it cures, so keep both layers thin.
