Be a Polish Pro with Shellac

By: Giovanna Manchisi

Shellac Manicure

Ladies, I know I’m not alone when it comes to the fear of ruining my freshly painted manicure when I leave the spa. We’ve all been there – I think I’ve waited enough time for my mani to dry, only to find I’ve nicked my nails getting changed, or reaching to get my keys from the bottom of my purse.

That’s why I’m so excited to announce the launch of our shellac manicures at Elmwood Spa – now you can step up your everyday manicure and take your experience at Elmwood Spa to the next level. If you’re in a hurry, let us give you this effective and relaxing shellac treatment, and you can head back to work without your boss even noticing you left. Or, if you’ve got a little time to unwind, you can enjoy a steam, dip in the pool, or hot tub immediately after your shellac service.

So, what is it? Shellac is a nail polish product that lasts for at least 14 days without chipping, scratching, or smudging.

What makes it so fabulous? The facts:
Many women have noticed that their nails are stronger and healthier after using shellac. Not only does it not damage your nail but it improves your nails’ health.

Let me tell you, I’m so impressed with how this product wears! I’m a mother of a 6 year old son; as you can imagine, this means lots of mess, dishes and laundry to take care of constantly. I’ve had my shellac polish on for 14 days now and I can’t believe its colour and shine has been able to hold up to my daily chores.

It’s almost time for me to get them redone; with over 32 nail colours to choose from, I’m positive there’s a colour to suit just about everyone. If you experience this treatment first-hand – no pun intended! – I know you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how great your hands look and feel, and for two whole weeks!

For a limited time only, exclusively for our email subscribers, get 50% off your shellac manicure when you book a pedicure.*
