What is all the buzz about Gel Polish?

3/25/2012

Gel polish is huge in the nail industry right now.  Gelish, Shellac, Axxium, Gel Color, ManiQ, and many more.  And they all offer chip free manicures that last up to 4 weeks. (Depending on the growth rate of your nails.) But what does this mean?  This is a soft gel that is applied to the natural nail, or even over an enhancement.  Meaning it can either add length to your nails, or keep them your natural length.  This gel “polish” has many advantages.

  • You don’t have to worry about free-edge chipping.  Yes, its true, these wont chip, lift, or peel if applied correctly.  They last for up to 4 weeks.
  • No dry time. Since gel cures in a light, you don’t have to sit around and wait for them to dry, or worry about them smudging!
  • It’s odorless!
  • Adds strength to the natural nail. (reduces breakage)
  • Great for growing out bitten nails.
The advantages outweigh the disadvantages; but here are a few of the disadvantages.

  • Removal is required.
  • The price.
These won’t come off like polish. Removing them requires a second visit.  Often times when damage is done by removal it is because the gel nail has been ripped or peeled off at home.  Without proper removal from a professional, there will be damage to the natural nail. And while it’s true that this service can be a bit pricey it does last at least twice as long as a natural manicure. Questions?

    My mom started a nail business in 2000, and I was just 10. Then when my older sister went to cosmetology school, I decided I wanted to be a Nail Technician and I have loved it since day one. Learn more about me on my about page...
