gel nails
Gel nails are a type of artificial nail extension that is applied and cured using a UV or LED light. Gel nails are made from a special type of nail polish that is cured or "set" under the light, creating a strong and durable finish. Gel nails can be an attractive and convenient alternative to natural nails, as they can be easily molded into any shape, are strong and durable, and can be worn for several weeks before needing to be filled or replaced.
There are two main types of gel nails: hard gel and soft gel. Hard gel is a thicker, more rigid type of gel that is used to create extensions or to build up the natural nail. Soft gel, also known as gel polish, is a thinner and more flexible type of gel that is applied in a similar way to regular nail polish. It is cured under the light and can be removed with regular nail polish remover.
Gel nails can be an attractive and convenient alternative to natural nails, but it's important to be aware that they can be damaging to the natural nail if not applied or maintained properly. It's important to choose a reputable and qualified technician to apply gel nails and to follow proper aftercare instructions to keep your natural nails healthy. This can include avoiding biting or picking at the gel nails, keeping the nails and cuticles moisturized, and having the gel nails filled or removed every 2-3 weeks to prevent damage to the natural nail.
