The new Shellac Manicure has arrived

Okay.  So anyone who knows me at the Wingate KNOWS I am not good about having nails.  At all.  I bite.  I am not nearly as bad as I used to be, but it continues to a lesser degree.  They have tried to give me acrylic or gel nails.  They look beautiful and last for at least two weeks on most people.  Not me.  I bite them off.  Can you imagine?  They have even tried giving me nail polish that has a horrible taste to it so I will not bite...and that doesn't even work.

Last week one of our lovely nail technicians came downstairs to my desk and said - "Do you want to try this new Shellac Manicure?"  Being that I am a very dedicated Wingate employee, I said no because I had a million and one things to do at the time.  About twenty minutes later another staff member came down to show me her lovely nails and went on and on about how fabulous they were.  I took one look at them and ran up the stairs.  "Yes Yes!  I just saw it...I want one now!”  A mere half-hour later my hands look star quality and ready for action!  No dry time, I love that.  My nails are really beautiful and lasting...lasting...lasting!

This service is new to the Wingate and has been developed over the years by Creative Nail Design (CND).  We are thrilled to now be offering it here at the spa - clients have been asking for months.  Last year we attempted the Indestructible Manicures and found that they did not hold up like we wanted them too.  So we wanted to be really careful before beginning this service to make sure it lived up to the "hype".  The immediate feedback has been amazing and clients and staff are both loving the service.  A Wingate client said last week - "Had my first shellac mani - I may be hooked and do it regularly. It is amazing and only took 30 minutes."


This service is perfect for busy women, special occasions, extended vacations and any occasion that demands long-lasting color.  Strong, beautiful, all-one length natural nails can be difficult to grow and maintain. However, CND Shellac act as a weightless and invisible layer of protection for your nails, keeping them strong so that they can grow without breaking. Shellac is perfect for anyone who demands long-lasting, flawless color with incredible shine. Our service includes nail preparation, cuticle maintenance, hand massage and the Shellac application. We offer a variety of colors which are easily applied, then cured under a light for results that are nothing short of brilliant! Better still, there is no dry time and they can last up to 14 days!
