Shellac is a UV light cured gel polish that lasts about two weeks. This color is more of a pearly golden tone and not pink. It looks very natural and sparkles for quite some time. I find that one coat of polish, well applied, is fine. I have used OPI's Axxium gel polish and it destroyed my nails. I now use Shellac. One item of mention is that to remove you need to use an acetone nail "wrap" for about 20 min to get the polish to come off easily. I make my own "wraps" by soaking cotton balls with acetone, placing the ball on my nail and covering with a 4 inch square of aluminum foil. Wait 20 minutes and the polish peels off like magic with no nail damage. Although this system takes more time compared to regular polish, it is long wearing under harsh conditions. The only reason you can't get more than two weeks out of a single coat of polish is because your nails will grow out.

I'm a beginner when it comes to applying my own Shellac. I've purchased 5 colors so far: Hollywood, Red Baroness, Tropix, Iced Cappuccino, and Iced Coral. I've found the Iced colors are much more difficult to use and haven't gotten good results with either color. The matte colors are much easier to apply thinly and smoothly. I haven't given up on the iced colors, but think I need more experience before I can get good results. Fingernailfixer.com is a great website for videos and tips. She has a great video on trouble shooting and mentions that the iced colors are difficult. My Iced Cappuccino application ended up streaky and blobby so I removed it immediately.

I purchased two bottles of CND Shellac Iced Cappucino from two sellers to see if the second bottle is as thick and clumpy as the first. It was. Very difficult to apply thinly. Clumps and is the consistency of watered down oatmeal. I've used CND Shellac Rose Bud with great success. Something seems amiss with the Iced Cappuccino.

I have not purchased this system (yet), but did have my nails done several weeks ago, and had the Shellac Iced Cappuccino applied. I am very rough with my nails, but they felt amazingly strong, nothing chipped, and the entire application was still beautiful and strong well over 2 weeks later when the nails had finally grown out enough that I had to remove the polish. It took some patience to remove with simple acetone remover and cotton pads; but it was well worth it to have effortless beautiful nails for as long as I did. I'm going back to the salon in a couple of days to try another color (though I'll be tempted to use this one again). (I'm not made of money, but I've been having fun exploring salons and treatments with Groupon.)

Polish has a nice sparkle to it, not flashy but will streak if applied to thick... just use thin coats :)

this color is great however it needs to be shaken like crazy so it sets correctly! A nice brown is always a must!

This is not my favorite Shellac color by any means. The name is misleading it is more of a muted gold tone. I didn't care for it as a all over nail color but it is ok when used with other colors in nail art. The frosted colors will also show any inperfection in your nail and is going to harder for the nail novice to use.

I bought this color for my salon to apply because they did not have a color like this. The color was pretty but it chipped very badly after only 1 week. The manicurist said that it appeared as if the bottle was "old" and something was wrong with the product. I should have listened to her & not used the product! Really disappointed.

This product came on time and was in perfect condition. This color is great and can be worn any time of the year!

The Iced Capuccino shade is pretty and elegant. I love the natural color and the way it lasts on my nails.
