CND Shellac Original Base Coat / 0.42 oz.
CND Shellac Original Base Coat / 0.42 oz. CND Shellac Original Base Coat creates the adhesion layer between the natural nail and Shellac Color Coat. It gives professionals the first step of the classic Shellac service, with a thin application and a removal system designed to release when correctly wrapped.
At a Glance
Choose this base coat according to the client's nail type and the intended Shellac service. Its place in the application sequence is as important as the finish or wear goal.
Quick Take
This product gives the technician a specific option within the Shellac system. Review the main service details before selecting the rest of the application products.
- Product selection: Original Base Coat.
- Professional bottle: 0.42 fl. oz. / 12.5 mL.
- Service position: beneath Shellac color, on the prepared natural nail.
- Application system: use with the appropriate CND products and lamp.
Why Pros Choose It
Original Base Coat is the classic choice for establishing the Shellac foundation on a prepared natural nail. Its role includes both anchoring the color during wear and supporting release during removal. Select it as part of the complete service rather than treating the base as an interchangeable preparation product.
Key Benefits
A complete service depends on choosing the right products for each stage. Use the following benefits to guide the consultation and organize the appointment.
- Adhesion layer anchors Shellac Color Coat to the natural nail.
- Thin application preserves a streamlined base beneath the color.
- Curved brush helps guide the product along the nail contour.
- Classic Shellac system supports 14+ days of wear when used as directed.
- Correct wrapping allows the coating to release during professional removal.
- A defined first step helps technicians follow a consistent Shellac protocol.
Features That Matter
Follow the instructions for this exact product when preparing the service. Base coats and top coats have different roles, and their lamp settings should be kept with the station protocol.
- Product type: Shellac gel polish base coat.
- Service stage: on the prepared natural nail, before color.
- Curing setting: preset 1 in the CND lamp.
- Blend method: gently roll the bottle between the palms.
- Next step: apply and cure Shellac Color Coat.
How to Use
Use the current CND directions for the full combination of products in the service. Prepare the required materials before application so each curing and finishing step can be completed in order.
- Complete CND P.E.P., including shaping, cuticle care, and nail-surface cleansing. Standard Shellac preparation does not require filing or buffing the natural nail surface.
- Gently roll the bottle between your palms to blend the product.
- Apply a thin layer of Original Base Coat to the clean, prepared nail and extension edge.
- Cure using preset 1 in the CND lamp, following the instructions for the lamp model in use.
- Apply two thin layers of Shellac Color Coat, curing each separately using preset 2S.
- Complete the service with the selected Shellac top coat, cure, and perform the finishing steps required for that top coat.

Pro Tips
Keep the Original Base Coat and Epic Smoothing Base settings clearly distinguished at the station. Original uses preset 1, while Epic uses 2S. The duration of preset 1 differs between the CND LED Lamp and Visible Light Lamp, so use the instructions for the model in service rather than transferring a remembered time.
