Benefits of gel nails

Gel nails feel more natural – Because of the very thin layers of base coat and polish applied to each nail and due to the fact that there is no powder/ gel mix like that of acrylic nails, a gel manicure looks and feels more natural . If you’re going for a more subtle look or you just like the appearance of a natural nail, a gel manicure fits the bill

Gel nails dry immediately – There is no wait time after a gel manicure because once the formula is applied to nails and cured it dries immediately . Gone are the days of reaching into your handbag for your keys or phone and damaging your fresh manicure . You can get up from the manicurist station and be off to your next appointment or back to work right away .

Gel manicures stay shiny and the colour doesn’t fade – Regular manicures tend to fade with wear and time, and they lose their beautiful shine after a couple of days simply from everyday activities . Gel manicures keep their glossy shine and the polish colour doesn’t fade so your nails stay looking fresh until your next appointment .

Gel manicures last longer than a regular manicure – Gel manicures typically last 2-3 weeks . If you are lucky you can get about 7-10 days out of a regular manicure, depending on how much you “ baby” your hands and nails . Most people find that with regular wear, however, a gel manicure lasts longer than that, sometimes up to 3 weeks .

Gel nails do not have a strong smell like acrylic nails – Gel nails have no chemical odour like that of acrylics .
