Yes. Shellac was in development and testing for over five years prior to it's release. The ingredients in it are safe and because of the molecular structure, they do not soak through your nail and into your nail bed. The molecules sit on top of the nail plate, never penetrating the surface and entering into the bloodstream.
Yes. However, every pregnant woman should independently consult with their doctor prior to using any new product or service and it's recommended that pregnant women should do the same prior to receiving Shellac nails. However, CND has reported that Shellac products have not shown problems with pregnant women.
Yes. This is definitely a legitimate concern and I'm often asked this question. The amount of UV light that you are exposed to while getting your Shellac nails done is about equal to twenty seconds of actual sunlight, probably the same amount as walking to your car every day. The light you are exposed to is very minimal and the UVB rays are filtered out in the CND lights, an added bonus. If you’re still concerned about the light you can either put sunblock on your hands or put a towel over them so that the rays are not penetrating the skin.
