Yes! To get a clear look with CND Shellac you can simply apply base coat, cure 10 seconds, then apply top coat and cure two minutes. I have found that using a coat of Clearly Pink in between gives the nails a healthy glow while giving the impression of being polished clear. — Holly Schippers is a CND education ambassador.
