Shellac is an in-salon professional product formulated as a polish-gel hybrid that applies like a nail polish but is tough like a gel. Arnold says it combines the best of both worlds: the long-wear, no-dry-time of a gel, with the color and shine of a polish.
Gelish is widely used at nail salons, and it’s available in every gorgeous shade you can think of. BTW, in case you’re wondering, it’s called soak off polish because, in order to remove the polish, you typically soak your nails in acetone.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

1. Sally Hansen Miracle Gel. Pro: This drugstore gem comes in 72 shades (crème, sheer and metallic) and delivers super-smooth application. Con: It doesn’t quite last the 14 days it promises.
Why does OPI only sell gel to salons?
Diversion is the sale of professional products outside of professional beauty channels. OPI has invested millions of dollars to ensure that our OPI brand professional-use products are used only under the supervision of trained professionals.
Is gel or regular nail polish better?
How much stronger is gel nail polish vs. regular? Gel polish lasts between 2-3 weeks at the minimum, while regular polish is lucky to go a week without chipping. With light wear, your gel nails last at least twice as long as a normal polish, but realistically they get you four to six times a standard manicure mileage.
What do nail techs use for pedicures?
The technician will use a foot file on the heel and the ball of your foot. This will soften the rest of the skin on your feet. She will do both feet this way, and if needed can add on a callus removal to your service. Foot files are made out of the same type of emery boards.
What is the blue stuff they use for pedicures?
You’ve probably seen tools soaking in a blue liquid disinfectant before at a nail salon. This solution is usually Barbicide, and it’s a good sign to trust the pedicurist. These tools are often safe to use without the worry of bacterial or fungal transfer.
Is OPI or Essie better?
Essie performed slightly better than OPI in the longevity test and it is similar in price and visual appearance. With high-quality formulas, fashion-forward nail polish colors, and iconic names, OPI’s heavily-pigmented Nail Lacquers are super rich, long-lasting and chip-resistant – with up to seven days of wear time.
Is shellac the same as gel?
Shellac is simply gel polish mixed with regular polish. In short, shellac has taken the best of gel (no-chips and colour) and added the benefits of traditional polish (shine and ease).
Which is better dip or shellac?
Simply put, dip powder polymers are stronger than those found in gel polish, and, therefore, dip manicures will generally last longer — up to five weeks, if properly cared for.
