Hello there Geeks, Long time no speak!
I have been investigating Shellac long and hard for several months now. Some of you may recall that I am sensitive to uncured gel (different brands) and so can't wear them myself and have to glove when applying to clients.
Shellac came out as did various other brush on gel products and for a long time I didn't even 'go there' because I thought... 'more gel products = sensitivity and more painful skin reactions'.
Then I plucked up some courage and for a few months now, I have been successfully wearing Shellac with no problems. I have also brought some products and have begun practising its application and enjoying its longevity, strength and shine.
SO... when other products such as Gelish, Gelac, Gel Colour etc... are advertised as gel polishes which contain gel, what exactly is meant by 'hybrid polish' where Shellac is concerned? I know what 'hybrid' means, but does Shellac actually contain a gel formulation or does the 'hybrid' part not stem from gel at all and Shellac is rather a hybrid polish/lacquer with UV photoinitiators?
One of the reasons I ask is because I often see Shellac advertised as a gel polish.
Thanks Peeps.
