Perhaps vinylux will make a matte tc and that could be used. I know its not the same but would be better for those die hard shellac fans to stay within the cnd brand at least

The only problem I have found with the buffing method is in less than a week the shine can come back, and clients of course want the effect to last the length of there manicure, have any of you geeks found this?
For a while now I have been using the OPI gelcolor matt top coat over shellac with good results.
With doing designs on top of the opi gel colour matt top coat what are you using? Normal shellac top coat or something else? I've tried using regular opi matte top coat polish but haven't tried doing any designs as yet. I was just wondering what I might be able to use? Any ideas for long lasting service X
I have found the exact same thing happening. So I started using OPI matte top coat back in the spring. Work great for me too
Have any of you had any service breakdown by using OPI over the top of Shellac? I'm seriously considering getting a bottle of the Gelish one when it comes out and explaining to clients openly so that they can make an informed decision.
Of course I won't bother if you report any problems whilst doing this. I suppose it's difficult to narrow it down if it was due to using the matte top coat, unless you have used it on clients that have consistent longevity with their Shellac.
I'd be interested to know.

I'd guess that my clients strictly follow their aftercare as they all return for next appointment with matte nails still

I've had 3 requests for these for appointments next week will need to get something from another brand
It's on sale now but as a duo matte/top it off, but it's discounted. x
Just seen this and I am DEVASTATED...
I regularly get asked for Matte Shellac manicures - but knowing that that Gelish Techs now have this in their armoury just makes me wanna cry :sad:
we were told no matte Shellac topcoat was due for release, surely if Gelish can formulate a matte, CND can too?
The matte top coat from Nsi Polish Pro works perfectly fine! I know to use the CND Shellac as a whole system but it is compatible with the NSI Polish pro because they are both hybrids! With the Shellac top and base, a polish pro colour does not last as long but I have had no issues yet with the matte top coat from Polish Pro overtop of my Shellac colours. I wish CND will come out with one!

Nsi pro is NOT a hybrid polish! Shellac is the only one of its kind. Nsi pro polish is a gel just like the others.
Any soak off topcoat will work with shellac it's just not recommended by them (obviously

I believe NSI Polish Pro was a hybrid polish but was reformulated when it became LED curable.
OPI GelColor has a nice matte topcoat.

If you use Shellac as a system and then use another brand's topcoat over the Shellac topcoat then you aren't compromising the Shellac in any way. I wouldn't recommend using it straight over the colour coat though, personally.
