The Truth About Shellac: Why Proper Removal Matters

We all love the look of freshly done Shellac nails — glossy, chip-resistant, and long-lasting. But when it's time for removal, things can go wrong quickly if you're not careful.

If you've ever picked, peeled, or forced your Shellac off, this one’s for you. Let's talk about why proper removal is essential for nail health — and how you can do it safely at home.

🚫 Why Peeling Off Shellac Is a Big No-No

We totally understand the temptation. The Shellac starts to lift, you find a loose corner, and before you know it... you're peeling. But here’s what’s really happening:

When you peel Shellac off, you’re not just removing the polish — you’re removing layers of your natural nail with it. This leads to:

• Thin, weak nails

• Peeling or splitting

• Increased sensitivity

• Slower growth and recovery

And once the damage is done, it can take weeks (even months!) to fully heal.

🧼 Safe Removal = Healthy Nails

The key to maintaining strong, beautiful nails between manicures is gentle, proper removal. Just like the application process, removal requires the right tools and a little patience.

At the salon, we always use professional buffers, wraps, and techniques to ensure your natural nail stays protected. And now, you can do the same at home with our Elana Jade Shellac Nail Remover Kit.

💖 Because Healthy Nails Are Beautiful Nails

Whether you’re a Shellac regular or just had your first manicure, it’s important to give your nails the care they deserve — from application to removal.
