Harmony Gelish and CNG Shellac are two of the most well known hybrid soak-off nail polishes. How do they stack up? Keep reading to find out.
Retail Value
The retail value of CND is very different from Harmony once several factors are applied. For instance, the retail value is roughly the same when the polishes are applied at a nail shop. However, for the do-it-your-selfer, the retail value is totally different. The retail value of Harmony is far less than CND . So Harmony wins this one.
Amount of Colors To Choose From
When it comes to the amount of colors to choose from, both CND and Harmony are lacking. Currently, they only have 48 colors each. That pales in comparison to brands like OPI and China Glaze. When it comes to colors, both CND and Harmony lose.
Application of the polish
Basically, the total amount of time is the same. But Gelish definitely has more steps to actually apply the nail polish and various base and top coats. The only difference is that it cures a lot faster. The winner? Draw
Long lasting formulation?
This is a tricky question. The reason is because Gelish is a gel nail polish and Shellac is a hybrid nail polish. Since Gelish is actually gel, it has a slightly longer lasting formulation that Shellac does. The drawback here is that it must be filed before soaking, which adds to the removal time and a lot of people are annoyed by that. However, if you can handle the filing time, I would say that Gelish is slightly longer lasting.
Speaking of removal time
Again, Gelish is slightly harder to remove because of its gel nail polish formulation. It does require some scraping prior to removal and a lot of people don't like that.
Branding
CND has done a great job launching an advertising campaign, which may mean that clients will come in looking for a Shellac application. This will mean higher profit margins for nail techs. However, Harmony maintains that they have restricted their brand's distribution channels to salons only in an effort to inhibit knockoffs and fakes from diluting their market. This means clients can trust that their product application is the real deal.
Winner: Tie
Grand Finale
I like Gelish better. Yes, it has it's flaws, but I think it has more pros than cons in the long run. What do you think?
