GEL NAILS FAQ

• What are gel nails?

  Gel nails are nail enhancements made with hard gel that’s sculpted over your natural nail or a form to add length, strength or shape. The gel is cured under a LED light to harden.

• How are gel nails different from gel polish(shellac mani)?

  Gel polish is a thin color layer applied like regular polish, while gel nails involve building and shaping an extension with a thicker gel product. They add length and structure, not just colour.

  Gel nails typically last 3-4 weeks, depending on your nail growth and how you care for them. Regular fills are recommended to keep them looking fresh and strong.

  Yes! You can customize the length, shape, and colour of your nails to suit your style- from shot and natural to long and dramatic.

  Hard gel nails are gently filed down. Professional removal is important to prevent damage to your natural nails.
