[Ezziebezzy]

[rOziitaAzul]

HEY PLEASE.. TELL ME HOW CAN I GET ALL THE PRODUCTS I NEED SO I CAN DO THEM MYSELF?? I HAVE SEEN THAT APPLICATION SO MANY TIMES THAT I EVEN CAN DO IT. I TRIED LOOKING ON THE WEBSITE BUT I JUST GIVES ME SALON ADDRESSES.. BUT THEY ARE SOO EXPENSIVE.. THANK U

[LiverpoolLashes]

@rOziitaAzul It is an expensive system - well over $100 for the basic bottles and lamp. Amazon and places like that sell it but for most people its easier to just go to a salon as the bulbs for the UV lamp are around $50 and need to be changed regularly x

[badazzbarbi]

Nevermind just saw them lol, great vid!

[badazzbarbi]

Do you have swatches?

[morrowchristine]

this was so helpful!!! thank you so much for sharing! :)

[LiverpoolLashes]

@morrowchristine You're more than welcome - thanks so much for watching ! x

[kaylynnoleary]

Thank you for the great video! This really helped me to choose colors of Shellac.

I have a little question. I'd like to use Fedora and Mother Of Pearl on it. Can I use Mother Of Pearl instead of the Top Coat or I need to use Top Coat after 2 layers of fedora and 1 layer of Mother Of Pearl?

[LiverpoolLashes]

@kaylynnoleary You would need the top coat to make it super shiny so you would use a base coat, two coats of Fedora, one Mother Of Pearl and a top coat. hope this helps x

[kaylynnoleary]

@LiverpoolLashes Thank you very much for the answer :). Really helpful!

[LiverpoolLashes]

@kaylynnoleary You're more than welcome - thanks for watching my video :) x

[oliwan69]

Thank you very much for your video. They have been so helpful. I just started with Shellac. I am a mobile service in Gimli Manitoba Canada.

[LiverpoolLashes]

@oliwan69 You're more than welcome - i'm glad it was useful.  I have other videos on application, removal and the latest colours. Wishing you all the best with Shellac - its brilliant !! x

Black Pool layered with Red Baroness is FANTASTIC!

[nikki23008]

ok thx



[nikki23008]

ya but why do you have to have a license

[LiverpoolLashes]

@nikki23008 Its a professional product, it is a hybrid of gel nails. CND have chosen to only sell to professionals to avoid mis-use and keep it as a professional service. All CND products are limited to qualified nail techs only x

[nikki23008]

why do you have to have a license to buy shellac?

[LiverpoolLashes]

@nikki23008 To buy from CND you do need to be licensed / qualified but there are various companies online selling it for higher prices x

[nikki23008]

I was wondering.... Where did you get all your shellac polishes?

[LiverpoolLashes]

@nikki23008 I'm a qualified nail technician so I purpose mine directly through the UK CND Distributor x

[LiverpoolLashes]

@nikki23008 purchase rather !! long day :P haha x

[Lolliepopscasey]

oh i see now :)

[Lolliepopscasey]

Amazing xx :) what colour are you wearing ? xxx

[nicolekrz]

ahhh how do i get that watermelon looking colour at 10:05 ?

[LiverpoolLashes]

@nicolekrz Thanks for watching. I assume you mean the red colour? Its two layers on Wildfire and one layer of Iced Coral x

[nicolekrz]

@LiverpoolLashes close but the one to the left of that ! the one closer to the purply colour. thanks again !

[LiverpoolLashes]

@nicolekrz Ahhhhh !! Its like a coral? That is one layer of Cream Puff and then Tropix over it. The white of Cream Puff makes the Tropix a little brighter x

[TheAnnaL38]

Can you tell me which are most popular colours!

Ordered lots anyway.

Thanks

[LiverpoolLashes]

@TheAnnaL38 Hello !! Thanks for watching my video & subscribing :) The most popular colours so far have DEFINITELY been Iced Coral (because thats the one you use for layering) Hot Pop Pink, Wildfire & Fedora. You do everything whilst wearing it and i even had spilt acetone all over my hands and it hasn't effected it !! Karen x

[TheAnnaL38]

Hi watched video. Am a qualified nail tech. Have ordered shellac as it looks fab!

Want to ask as do gels, can u swim in it. Also have 36w lamp! Do i really need their one!

[linda165]

Great video! I love how much information you give. Thanks!

[6223hilary]

hey karen great video love the look of this shellac the colours are great as always well explained video look forward to the next parts :)

[JaninaM]

It was really good to see the swatches.

I think the only time I might have Shellac is if I was going on holiday for a fortnight.

I change my colour 2 or 3 times a week. Just love painting my nails! :-)

[cardingsan]

some lovely colours :o)

[LiverpoolLashes]

@cardingsan The colours are lovely :) You're always welcome to pay me a visit San :P x

[debbick1]

My daughter has had shellac done. One word of caution, there are many different brands, and the first one they used on her nails peeled after a few days. The second brand was fine. She had a french done last time and it is gorgeous. Great video :D

[LiverpoolLashes]

@debbick1 Thanks Deb :) There are loads of immitations but Shellac is the first one that was brought out - the original. CND invented it and then other brands imitated it and some of them are terrible (I used to have Polish Pro by NSI and it peeled and chipped) x

[ShesInLosAngeles]

This is a great a great video. I will show it to my technician. :)

[LiverpoolLashes]

@ShesInLosAngeles Awww - im glad you enjoyed it :) Thanks for watching & commenting x

[MissHannahKC]

Great video. Wish there was something as great to use at home :-( x

[LiverpoolLashes]

@MissHannahKC Unfortunately it goes under a lamp to cure (dry) and those lamps arent cheap and are pricey to maintain x

[sejbomb]

I love the iced cappucino, I might have shellac in the future :)

[LiverpoolLashes]

@sejbomb Iced Cappuccino is gorgeous !! Shellac is a brilliant service !! x

[ziplockcan]

great video, looks like something to do instead of gels, does it weaken the nail like the gels?

[LiverpoolLashes]

@ziplockcan Thanks for watching Cathy !! Theres no removing of shine on your natural nail before application (which makes your nail bed thinner) To the best of my knowledge it causes no damage at all to the nail but you know I'll always tell you all the honest truth and I havent had the system long enough to talk long term. Since buying the system is been 90% of my business !! clients love it ! x

[LiverpoolLashes]

@Passionate4Nails I used to change my polish every few days but since working full time with nails... in and out of acetone and polish remover... I gave up having to re-do it when I caught a bit !! Shellac stays on perfectly even with a splash of acetone - PHEW ! x

[iluveyeshadows]

I bought alot of the shellac & uv light....great polish & really make ur nails grow

Thanks so much for this vid :)

[LiverpoolLashes]

@Passionate4Nails Ahhh - no you dont need to buff the surface at all. Thats what I was saying in the video (although I waffle alot !!) All of the gel polishes need to have the shine removed but Shellac is different - its one of a kind x

[LiverpoolLashes]

@thelmalou475 I know what you mean about wanting to be a bit... 'nude' for a while Sandy :P hahaha. Shellac is so close to polish for me so its not like I have anything on them. Gel and acrylic do weaken your nails. You're told they dont in college but of course they do ! x

[LiverpoolLashes]

@Passionate4Nails Thanks for watching :P I have problems trying to decide what to wear next !! x
