Shellac Vs Bio Sculpture Gel

August 23rd, 2011 | Author: SprayTan Queen

Hi Everyone

Its been a little while since my last blog but I have been rather busy with eyelash extensions and spray tans for all the girls going on holidays.

I would like to discuss the difference between a shellac gel polish and bio sculpture gel.

I am a great fan of both as both have a place in the professional nail application market.

The best way to describe Shellac is it “sits” in between a nail polish and a gel. That is its a gel polish that can only set under ultra violet light. However it has the same consistency as a polish because it is very thin. Having said that you cannot build a nail with Shellac. That is what we nail technicians refer to as the C curve…The Curvature of your nails when you look at them from a side on perspective. That is where the Bio Sculpture Gel has its advantage. It has building properties that can create a rounder,smoother looking nail. Whereas Shellac is applied on to the nail and simply follows your natural shape. So if you have a fairly flat nail it will still look flat with Shellac, however if you are blessed with a natural C curve then Shellac may be the way for you.

Bio sculpture is stronger and flexible just like Shellac. You can expect Bio Sculpture to last 3 weeks whereas the Shellac range will stay on 10-14 days

Both have their place in the professional nail market

As I often tell my clients different nails for different girls
