I’m absolutely hooked on the new Shellac Hybrid manicure, brought to us by Creative Nail Design (CND). The nail colour, stays put for two weeks without chipping.

The polish is applied like any other varnish but is sealed under a UV lamp, so there is zero dry time. It comes off easily with a acetone wipe and unlike other long-lasting manicures i’ve tried, it doesn’t leave nails dry and brittle. At the moment there are 12 shades to chose from, but the demand has been so huge all over the world, that CND are set to bring out another 60 shades by the end of this year.
