Shellac

Shellac

Shellac is a popular nail treatment that allows you to have a more long-lasting look for your nails. These treatments are difficult to remove at home and often require the use of a nail drill to remove. It is important to be aware of a few potential effects when opting for this treatment at the salon.

 

  • Shellac can make your nails more brittle and prone to breakage, especially if not properly removed. It's essential to follow the correct removal process or seek professional help to avoid damaging your natural nails.
  • Some people may experience dryness or thinning of the nails after repeated shellac applications. Remember to take breaks between treatments to give your nails a chance to breathe and recover. 
  • Fungal nail infections can occur to damaged nails or if the tools used during the treatment have not been properly sterilised.
  • Paronychia is a bacterial infection which occurs around the nail bed and sulci. This can occur if the skin has been damaged during treatment or if the cuticles have been cut too far back.

 

Overall, while shellac can provide a fresh look for our nails during the summer, it's crucial to prioritise proper nail care. A good alternative for those who prefer the painted look is at home varnishes which can be easily removed after an event although keeping the nails polish free is optimal. Remember to seek professional help from your podiatrist if you notice any concerning changes in you nails.
