Gel Nails

Service Description

Gel nails are a type of nail enhancement that involves the use of a special gel formula applied to the natural nail or nail tips to create a durable, long-lasting manicure. The gel is applied in layers and cured under a UV or LED lamp, which hardens the product and creates a glossy, resilient finish. Gel nails are known for their flexibility, strength, and ability to maintain their appearance without chipping or peeling for an extended period. Application Process: Gel Nails: The gel is applied in layers and cured under a UV or LED lamp after each application. This curing process hardens the gel, creating a long-lasting finish. Normal Nail Polish: Traditional nail polish is applied directly to the nails and air-dries. It typically requires a top coat for added shine and durability but is more prone to chipping and peeling. Durability: Gel Nails: Gel nails can last anywhere from two to four weeks without chipping or fading. They are more resilient and can handle daily activities better than normal polish. Normal Nail Polish: Regular nail polish generally lasts around a week before showing signs of wear and tear, such as chips and fading. Finish and Appearance: Gel Nails: Gel nails have a glossy, high-shine finish that remains intact throughout their wear. They also have a more professional appearance. Normal Nail Polish: The finish can vary but may dull over time. It often requires touch-ups to maintain a fresh look. Removal Process: Gel Nails: Gel nails require a specific removal process, typically involving soaking in acetone or using a gel-specific remover. This process can take longer than removing regular polish. Normal Nail Polish: Traditional polish can be removed easily with regular nail polish remover, making it quicker and more convenient. Flexibility: Gel Nails: Gel nails are more flexible than traditional polish, making them less likely to chip under pressure. Normal Nail Polish: Regular polish is more rigid and can chip or crack if subjected to impact or pressure. Gel nails offer a more durable and long-lasting alternative to traditional nail polish, with benefits like a high-gloss finish and resistance to chipping. The application process is more complex and requires curing under UV or LED light, but the results are often worth it for those seeking a polished and professional appearance. Whether for special occasions or everyday wear, gel nails can provide a beautiful and resilient manicure option.
