CND Brisa Lite | The First Professional Removable Gel Without Filing

In February 2013, CND, the global authority in professional nail care and creator of CND Shellac, launched a major innovation: Brisa Lite removable gels. This unique system combines the performance of professional gel with the convenience of semi-permanent polish, offering up to 3 weeks of flawless wear without refills or damage to the natural nail.

“This one-of-a-kind system offers the best of both worlds for women who want the strength of gel enhancements and the convenience of CND Shellac,” says CND Co-Founder Jan Arnold. “Brisa Lite combines the unmatched performance of Brisa Gel with the superior removability of CND Shellac to create a breakthrough technique that advances the nail industry.

Unlike traditional soak-off gels that require filing the natural nail, yellow quickly, or are difficult to remove, CND Brisa Lite solves all of these problems with CND’s exclusive removal technology for truly advanced performance:

  • No aggressive filing of the natural nail

  • Fast and gentle removal (15 minutes for the Smoothing Gel, 30 minutes for the Sculpting Gel)

  • Controlled application on 5 nails at once for significant time savings

  • Stable colors, odorless formula, and long-lasting wear – saving you and your clients valuable time

The Complete Brisa Lite System

The Brisa Lite system includes four complementary products:

  • Removable Base Coat: ensures strong adhesion without the need to file the natural nail.

  • Removable Smoothing Gel: perfect for smoothing and strengthening the natural nail surface, or extending the wear of a CND Shellac service for up to 3 weeks. Removes easily in just 15 minutes.

  • Removable Sculpting Gel: the first truly removable sculpting gel, designed to improve nail shape and length. Available in clear, neutral pink, and pure white. Removes in 30 minutes.

  • Removable Top Coat: delivers a brilliant high-gloss finish, seals and protects the Brisa Lite service, and resists scratches.


Thanks to its quick application and easy removal, Brisa Lite saves time and increases comfort for both nail professionals and clients. It allows salons to offer a premium, safe, and long-lasting service, without compromising the health of the natural nail.
