CND Shellac Gel Polish Salmon Run 12.5ml

CND Shellac Gel Polish Salmon Run 12.5ml is a warm, peachy-coral creme with a polished, sun-kissed glow. CND files it among its warms, and the tone is refined rather than neon: wearable enough to sit beautifully across a wide range of skin tones, which is why it has been a standing request. Salmon Run is one of the ten shades in the CND Shellac Color Callback Collection, returned by demand exactly as it was, unchanged and unfiltered. It is a dependable summer and pedicure coral, and it applies in thin, buildable layers to a clean opaque finish.

Benefits

• A warm peachy-coral that stays refined rather than neon, so it sits beautifully across a wide range of skin tones instead of suiting only one.
• 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.
• 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.
• The custom curve-hugging brush follows the curve of the nail plate for smooth, even coverage in two thin, buildable layers.
• Works over enhancements as well as natural nails, so one coral covers manicures and pedicures alike. Over enhancements, Shellac is filed off rather than soaked off.

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 Salmon Run 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 Salmon Run 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 from the natural nail, 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. Over enhancements, the coating is filed off rather than soaked off; follow CND's Shellac Over Enhancements Step-by-Step.
