does this work for Shellac polish?

No - this is for regular nail polish. You would need a UV or LED light (depending on what type of gel polish it is).

I have never used shellac polish so I don't know if it would work on it but I do love my dryer well worth getting. When I do my nails and use it they last longer than not using it.

I am not sure what "UV" polish is exactly, but it works with any gel nail polish that requires UV light for curing (drying)

If you mean CND Shellac, no it does not. CND Shellac requires a UV lamp. They may be coming out with an LED curable polish in the future, but currently it requires the UV light.

I haven't ever tried that before but I don't think so. There is not a fan or really much heat either. It is just the UV light. So I think it will only work with the gel polish. Good luck!

I have not used cnd shellac, but it should work. If in doubt, you can leave your nails under the light a minute or two longer just to insure a good cure.

Hi, I have only used Gelish polishes with the lamp, I don't know if a "shellac" polish is a gel polish. So I can't help you out there. They also say base coat should only cure for 5 seconds under lamp, but if I do under 40 seconds, they pop off after a few days.

no, as long as the polish is a good one that covers your nails with 1 or 2 coats it will work. Sally Hansen has good ones, and the Ice brand in the square bottles, and Nicole shades are pretty good too.

I've used it with other polishes. I have some bottles of Essie that I've used it with.

Any gel polish works great! I haven't used Shellac polish at all...I used Gelish, Finger Paints gel polish as well as gel polishes sold at Wal-Mart. And I use fingerpaints bonder, base and top coat but any brand base and top would work

Yes, it will work on regular polish. However, it really needs to be cured under a UV light. To remove you will need to soak it off like a gel polish (using a gel remover or acetone).

Not that I am aware of, this is for coating wood to protect it. Check this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellac

I have found that it works with any light-cured gel polish. UV or LED. The diff is that curing time is much shorter with the LED from this light.

I haven't tried that myself but I don't see why not. From what I read on other sites before I made the purchase, the top coat is actually the more durable coat. I think in salons you can get just the top coat on and shellac is a lot harsher. This stuff comes off with no nail damage. Hope that helps. :)

You can use it for any type of gel polish. I have Gelish and it works great.

I would never chance it. There are silver polishes that work like a charm. I only use this on my copper.

It is my understanding that gel polishes and shellac polishes are not the same thing, but I don't know if they can still be used interchangeably. I would assume that if you use them that way, they won't bond in the same way, and so probably won't last as long. Shellac is supposed to be better for your nails than gel though.

It might if you let the regular polish dry for at least a half day before you put on the shellac topcoat & use the dryer. I tried it within 2 hours and it got smudgy and bubbly under the dryer.
