CND Shellac Gel Polish Of The Moment 12.5ml

CND Shellac Gel Polish Of The Moment 12.5ml is a sheer nude pink from the CND Quiet Luxury collection, the Spring 2025 palette built around timeless elegance - neutral tones with a unique twist, subtly eclectic, and in CND's own framing more refined than plain minimalism. CND describes CND Shellac Of The Moment as a shade that defies trends for effortless effervescence, and it is the only sheer in a collection otherwise given over to shimmer, pearl and glitter. That makes it the quiet centre of the set: sheer enough to let the nail look like itself, tinted enough to look deliberate. For a nail professional it is the low-commitment nude that suits very nearly every client on the books, and it doubles as the clean base to layer a Quiet Luxury shimmer over.

Benefits

• A sheer nude pink that CND positions as trend-proof, so it holds its place on the wall long after a season has turned over.
• The only sheer in the Quiet Luxury collection, which makes it the natural base to layer Covetable, Pearlwind or Gold Hardware over.
• Sheer coverage suits clients who want tidy hands rather than obvious colour, and it grows out gently between appointments.
• Delivers 14+ days of high-performance wear inside the complete CND Shellac system, and up to 21 days over CND Shellac Epic Smoothing Base.
• Cures a minute per layer under a CND Lamp on preset 2S, so the manicure is dry the moment it leaves the lamp.
• Breathable formula forms tiny tunnels as it cures, letting moisture and oxygen travel through the coating to the natural nail plate, which is also what lets conditioners such as CND SolarOil penetrate.

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: Store away from light with the cap closed tightly, and shake to blend before each use.
