CND Shellac Gel Polish Kiss From A Rose 12.5ml

CND Shellac Gel Polish Kiss From A Rose 12.5ml is a medium pink creme that lands somewhere between a blush and a cool rose. That in-between quality is the whole point of the shade: it is polished enough for a wedding day and refined enough to wear on a Tuesday. Kiss From A Rose is one of the ten shades in the CND Shellac Color Callback Collection, returned by demand exactly as it was, unchanged and unfiltered, and it first appeared in CND's English Garden collection. It is a reliable bridal and everyday pink for clients who want colour without a statement.

Benefits

• Sits between a blush and a cool rose, so one bottle covers both bridal work and everyday colour without needing two pinks on the wall.
• 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.
• Cures in one minute per layer on preset button 2S under a CND Lamp, so the manicure leaves the chair instantly dry with no smudging and no dent risk.
• Prep stays fast and gentle, because the natural nail surface is never filed or buffed before the colour goes on.
• Layer a cured shade over Kiss From A Rose, curing between layers, to build custom rose tones out of stock already on the shelf.

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.
3. Shake Kiss From A Rose 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 Kiss From A Rose 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 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.
