CND Shellac Gel Polish Covetable 12.5ml

CND Shellac Gel Polish Covetable 12.5ml is the pink glitter of the CND Quiet Luxury collection, and the shade that stops the palette taking itself too seriously. CND calls it playful yet curated for an elevated pop of colour, which is a fair account of what it does: it is the only true glitter in a Spring 2025 set otherwise built from sheer nude, pearl, shimmer and taupe, so CND Shellac Covetable lifts the collection without breaking its neutral logic. Curated is the operative word - this is glitter aimed at a client who would not normally book glitter. It works as an accent nail against Of The Moment or Silk Thread as readily as it does across all ten nails, and for a nail professional it is the kind of add-on a client can actually see in the mirror.

Benefits

• Pink glitter that CND describes as playful yet curated, pitched at clients who want sparkle without the full novelty treatment.
• The only glitter in the Quiet Luxury collection, so it is the designated accent against the sheer nude, pearl and taupe shades released with it.
• An easy visible add-on at the chair, which is where accent-nail upsells actually land.
• Wears 14+ days as the colour step in the complete CND Shellac system, and up to 21 days when applied over CND Shellac Epic Smoothing Base.
• Layer it over another cured shade to build custom effects from stock you already own, curing between layers.
• Prep stays fast and gentle - the natural nail surface is never filed or buffed before application.

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: Each bottle carries the custom curve-hugging brush, shaped to follow the curve of the nail plate.
