shellac nail polish is half gel and half polish, and its cured by UV light and dries IMMEDIATELY after the manicure process. the UV light sorta makes the shellac nail paint go plasticy, which makes it lasts longer. its thin, but super glossy and lasts up to 2 weeks.

i'm not sure what lacquer nail polish is made out of, but i know that it dries super quick (without UV light) and can be applied in one quick flick. it's also super glossy.

so maybe the difference is that shellac nail polish is half gel and it's cured by UV light? idk. hope i helped:)
