Gel Manicure
A long-wearing manicure that uses gel polish cured under UV/LED light to last 2–3 weeks without chipping.
What is gel manicure?
A gel manicure uses polish that hardens (cures) under UV or LED light, creating a glossy finish that resists chips and wear for 2–3 weeks. Removal requires acetone soaking — never peel gel off, as it can lift layers of the natural nail.
Benefits
- Lasts 2–3 weeks
- Glossy, chip-resistant finish
Risks & considerations
- Improper removal can damage nails
- UV exposure to hands (sunscreen recommended)
Frequently asked questions
Is a gel manicure damaging to nails?▾
Application is gentle; damage usually comes from peeling polish off rather than soaking it off properly.
