Frequently Asked Questions

There are 2 main reasons why the paint doesn't stick to your skin: 1. Incorrect nail preparation - in 99% of cases this leads to chipping in the cuticle area and on the sides. 2. If the Shellac is peeling off at the tips, it is because you have not strengthened your nails enough to withstand the stress they are subjected to. If your nails are healthy, not thin and not over-filed, and you or your professional has coated them with gel polish, they will probably hold up well. If the nails are damaged or thin, they will probably need to be reinforced with a stronger material. The easiest way to improve durability without having any extra skills, when working with materials from our shop, is to file the length of the nails after application, not before. What is Shellac? Shellac, also known as gel polish, is a special product used in UV manicure. It is a hybrid polish that combines the best features of gel and nail polish. This type of nail polish offers a resistant, shiny and long-lasting manicure that can last for weeks without chipping or fading. UV Shellac manicure offers an excellent way to have well-groomed and long-lasting nails. The combination of durability, shine and color intensity makes Shellac by Alosa Nails a popular choice in nail salons worldwide. However, it is important to have the Shellac removed professionally in order not to damage the natural nails. In any case: the durability of nail polish depends 90% on the work of the professional.

The durability of the nail polish depends 90% on the work of the professional. If you have healthy, unfiled nails, the SHellas will hold very well with proper preparation if the professional does everything right. However, if your nails are too thin or have already been damaged by previous visits to the nail salon, you may need reinforcement with a stronger material such as acrylic or gel. Shellac can last for weeks under optimal conditions, but should be refreshed every 2-4 weeks, otherwise the nail architecture will be disturbed and the nail may break.

The difference is NOT that the gel is thicker. The thickness of the modeling does not depend on the material, but solely on the work of the professional. It is possible to make thick nails with Shellac, as well as thin ones with gel. Here are the main distinguishing criteria 1.Shellac(UV varnish) is usually removed by peeling with Rwmouver, while gel is mainly removed by filing. 2.Gel is always harder than Shellac, so it is suitable for strengthening nails of any length, whereas Shellac is ideally best suited only to short nails or those that extend slightly beyond the fingertip. 3. You have to work a little differently with gel than with gel polish because it is harder. With gel polish you can simply paint and build up the nails without doing anything extra, but when working with gel you should ideally apply the gel to the nail and file the nail from the inside, as some gels can otherwise flake off the natural nail. The "The Color to build" is suitable for those who do not want to do this or do not know how, as it allows you to work on many nails without filing. However, the gel is hard.

What is the difference between Shellac and UV varnish Shellac and UV varnish are two different types of nail polish. Shellac is a special type of nail polish that is a mixture of gel and nail polish. It is applied to the nail and then cured with UV light to create a durable and glossy finish. Shellac usually lasts longer than regular nail polish and can last up to two weeks without chipping or flaking. UV polish is another type of nail polish that is also cured using UV light. However, UV polish is thicker and more durable than regular nail polish and can last longer. UV polish is also available in a wider range of colors than Shellac. Another difference between Shellac and UV varnish is the way they are removed. Shellac can be removed with acetone, while UV varnish usually needs to be removed with a special solvent that contains acetone and other chemical compounds. Overall, Shellac and UV polish are both more durable and long-lasting alternatives to traditional nail polish. Which type of nail polish you choose depends on your personal preferences and needs. Which holds better, UV varnish or shellac? Both UV varnish and Shellac offer excellent durability and resistance to scuffs and scratches, but deciding which product is better depends on individual needs and preferences. UV polish is nail polish that is cured under a UV lamp, resulting in a harder and more durable finish than traditional nail polish. UV polish is typically thicker than traditional nail polish and lasts longer because it is less prone to chipping and wear. UV polish comes in a variety of colors and sheen levels and is easy to apply. Shellac is a hybrid product made from a combination of gel and traditional nail polish. It is cured under a UV lamp and offers high durability and shine. Shellac is usually thinner than UV polish and offers a thinner, more flexible finish. It is also easier to remove than UV polish. Ultimately, the choice between UV polish and Shellac depends on what type of nail look you prefer and your durability and removal needs. If you prefer a thicker, more durable nail polish and are willing to invest a little more time in application, UV polish may be a good choice. However, if you prefer a thinner, more flexible finish and want easier removal, Shellac may be a better choice. You can buy both products online in our Alisa Nails Shop.
