CND™ SHELLAC® EPIC Smoothing Base
2-in-1 base coat and smoothing layer for up to 21 days of wear
CND™ SHELLAC® EPIC Smoothing Base is an innovative 2-in-1 formula that acts as both a base coat and smoothing layer in one application. It creates a smooth and strengthening base that extends the durability of CND® SHELLAC® up to 21 days. The unique GRIP-CANVAS™ technology ensures excellent adhesion between the natural nail and the color layer, minimizing the risk of chipping, lifting, and cracking.
The creamy, rich consistency provides up to 10 times more plumping than the original SHELLAC® Base Coat and evens out unevenness in the natural nail for a beautiful and uniform result. It is ideal for creating a slight apex while providing strength, flexibility, and extra resilience—regardless of nail type. The specially designed short and firm brush adapts to the shape of the nail and allows for precise and controlled application. The formula is vegan, HEMA Monomer-free and breathable, which supports gentle Glide-Off Removal™ and makes EPIC Smoothing Base an obvious choice for even the most sensitive customers.Use as the first step in the CND SHELLAC system. Shake gently between hands, apply in an even layer and cure for 1 minute (preset button 2S) in the CND LED Lamp. Follow up with the desired CND SHELLAC color.
