All manicures are not created equally and not with the same process. The traditional acrylics and gel nails are just some of the trending nails styles for summer. Another trending style is the shellac nail design. Shellac nails are not to be confused with gel manicures because they are totally different. A small UV light emitter is used to dry the shellac paint, lasting up to 14 days. Shellac is not the name of any manicure brand, but it’s the nail art trend itself.

You can recreate any nail designs you’d like using the shellac manicure. Shellac nails are the most professional nail art you can also create at home. But also remember to remove these nails professionally. Shellac nails are usually composed of an acrylic base combined with the hybrid nail paint. The effect of Blue UV light binds the whole formula together to give you the long-lasting shellac manicure.

Here are some designs and inspirations on Shellac Nails that you can easily do at home. They range from simple to the most glamorous nail art design.

An easy way to wear the shellac manicure at home is by wearing a French Manicure. Step up the classic look by using powder paint at the nail tips. The shiny powder paint will enhance the subtle look of the nails.
