With so many nail polish options available, things can get confusing. Shellac nails is a special gel nail polish, developed by CND. This is a form of gel colors that is cured under a UV light to have a longer-lasting finish. It is especially popular because Shellac has a lattice structure that helps real nails circulate blood easily. Shellac also does not contain ingredients that damage the nail and is easily removed without the need for strong drills. Acrylic nails are created using liquid monomers and powdered polymers, which are carefully mixed by your nail professional. They don't require to cure under a UV/LED lamp, but will require a lot of drilling and filling to get a beautiful shape of the nails. Builder/overlay gel is a form-creating gel with a firmer, more enhanced base layer. It is cured under a UV/LED lamp to harden to a thicker consistency than gel and is also removed with acetone.
