Product In Action
Product In Action videos show a nail product being used to build a finished look, so you can judge the color, finish and effect before you buy it or book it. These clips focus on CND Shellac.
The grid includes CND Shellac Video, Glitter Faded Nails and 4th of July Nails, each taking gel polish past a plain color and into a design.

Seeing a product before you choose it
A swatch shows you a color; a video shows you how a product behaves: how it brushes on, how it layers with glitter and how it looks once it's cured and finished. That's the gap these product videos fill. If you want a full start-to-finish lesson instead, the step-by-step videos are in product tutorials.
What to watch for
- Coverage: how many coats it takes before the color looks solid.
- Layering: whether glitter or a second shade sits evenly over the base, as in a faded glitter design.
- Finish: the shine once the top coat is cured and wiped.
- Detail work: how well the polish holds a crisp line for stripes and stars.
- Cleanup: how neat the edges look once the excess is wiped away.
Comparing two products? Watch them back to back and pay most attention to how each looks after the top coat, since that's the finish you'll wear.
