A Shellac manicure is a hybrid polish system by CND™ that combines the ease of traditional nail polish with the durability of gel. Unlike regular polish, Shellac is cured under a UV/LED lamp, giving it a glossy, chip-resistant finish that can last up to two weeks without smudging.

With proper application and care, a Shellac manicure typically lasts 10–14 days. Many clients enjoy longer wear depending on their daily activities and nail condition.

Prices for Shellac manicures in Sydney generally range from $50–$80, depending on the salon and whether extras like nail art or spa treatments are included. Our pricing is always transparent, with no hidden add-ons.

Shellac and gel both offer long-lasting wear, but gel manicures usually last slightly longer (2–3 weeks). Shellac, however, is thinner, easier to remove, and less damaging for natural nails, making it ideal for those who want durability without heavy upkeep.
