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.
