Shellac Manicure Nenagh — Chip-Free Colour That Lasts Two Weeks

A shellac manicure in Nenagh at Pepper Leaf Studio gives you high-gloss nail colour that lasts up to two weeks without chipping or peeling. Shellac is a hybrid between nail polish and gel — it goes on like polish but cures under a UV lamp. The result is a hard, flexible finish that stays perfect through daily activities.
The treatment takes around 45 minutes. Your therapist starts with a brief nail prep — filing, shaping, and pushing back the cuticles. Then they apply a base coat, two colour coats, and a top coat, each curing under the UV lamp for 30 seconds. In fact, you leave the salon with dry, touch-proof nails — no smudging while searching for your keys.
A shellac manicure in Nenagh is ideal if you want a polish finish that doesn't require weekly maintenance. Furthermore, the CND Shellac system does not file or damage the natural nail plate during application. As a result, regular clients find their natural nails stay in good condition underneath the colour.

What a shellac manicure does for you

According to Healthline's guide to shellac nails, shellac is considered one of the safer gel systems for regular use because it does not require buffing the natural nail before application. They recommend proper soak-off removal — never peeling — to protect the nail plate long-term.
