Product Information

You can see how to paint a white French manicure smile line in more detail in the video embedded above. Shellac requires a multi-step process to apply it to your nails and to ensure it looks great and stays on the nails for at least 14 days, as CND promises. No need to remove the top layer of the natural nail for better bonding, like you may have to do with some other gel nail polishes. Vinylux is a new-generation gel-like polish that lasts longer than regular polishes (for up to 7-10 days) and has amazing shine but doesn’t need UV light to get cured.

Loved by everyone from Molly-Mae Hague and Maura Higgins to Hailey Bieber and Ariana Grande, shiny and healthy looking nails in an understated hue are the go-to right now, whether on a shorter, natural length or longer looks created with the help of extensions.You can use any color in CND’s vast palette for the nail tips when doing this style of French manicure. If you want to make a colored smile line instead of the white one use any bright or pastel-colored Shellac instead of Cream Puff or Studio White on the tip of the nail. Cure each layer of the base color, the smile line and the top coat in the lamp after you apply them.
