SHELLAC NAILS
Perfect nails are never easy to maintain—traditional manicures and pedicures often chip within a day or two, even when applied with care. That’s where gel manicures come in. This innovative treatment uses gel-based polish cured under UV light, creating a glossy, durable finish that stays flawless for weeks. Say goodbye to smudges and long drying times—gel nails typically last up to two weeks or more without chipping.
Unlike standard techniques, Shellac gel polish doesn’t require buffing the natural nail, allowing it to grow healthier and stronger underneath. At our salon in Angel, Islington, we specialize in high-quality Shellac treatments that deliver long-lasting beauty. Serving clients across London and nearby areas, we’re proud to offer stunning results that keep your nails looking fresh and polished.

Patented gel & polish combined
Shellac nails are a unique type of long-lasting polish, created and patented by Jan Arnold of Creative Nail Design (CND), a pioneer in the nail industry. Available in over 100 vibrant shades at certified salons, Shellac offers both style and staying power. What sets Shellac apart is its hybrid formula—it blends the durability of gel polish with the glossy finish and rich pigment of traditional nail polish.
When applied, the polish undergoes a chemical reaction under an LED light. This process fuses tiny monomers and larger polymers together, forming a tough, shiny layer over your nails. That’s what gives Shellac its signature long-wearing, high-shine finish—hence the name "Shellac nails.
Does shellac manicures damage your nails?
When professionally removed at a salon, Shellac nails usually come off without causing harm to your natural nails. However, attempting to peel them off at home can strip away the top layers of your nail, leaving them weak, thin, and prone to breakage. To keep your nails healthy and strong, it's best to have them removed gently and correctly by a trained nail technician.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE & HOW LONG WILL THEY LAST?
A Shellac nail treatment typically takes about an hour to complete. Once applied, the polish can last for a minimum of two weeks without any chipping. Unlike other methods, Shellac doesn't involve buffing the natural nail, allowing it to grow out stronger and healthier over time.
