What is Gel Polish?
Gel polish is a type of nail lacquer applied
similarly to traditional polish but distinguished by
its curing process under a UV or LED light,
resulting in a durable, chip-resistant finish.
Unlike regular polish, each layer of gel polish
cures in 30 to 60 seconds. Known for their
resistance to chips and wear, gel manicures maintain
a glossy appearance throughout 2-3 weeks. At Polish
Nail Bar, our gel polish treatment mirrors the
initial steps of a traditional manicure, including
nail cutting, filing, shaping, and cuticle work. In
just one salon appointment, you can enjoy a glossy,
chip-resistant manicure that typically lasts between
10 to 20 days.
We prioritize the safety
of our clients by using LED lights instead of a UV
lamp for the curing process. Additionally, we offer
optional sunscreen and gloves for customers who
prefer extra protection. Maintaining a healthy nail
bed is our top priority, which is why we take great
care during gel polish removal, using beneficial
nail oil, at Polish we choose Oilab. We strongly
discourage attempting to pick or peel off the gel
yourself. For clients with sensitivity to
traditional gel nail polish, we offer hema-free
gels.Post-gel manicure, a cuticle oil or serum
becomes your best friend. Due to the removal
solution, your nails may be on the brittle side, so
rehydrating your nails is crucial. At Polish, we
prioritize the health and beauty of your nails,
ensuring a positive and lasting gel polish
experience.
Our nail expert Vy’s tip: a cuticle oil or
serum is your BFF post-gel mani. “Your nails
will be on the brittle side due to the removal
solution, so it is important to rehydrate your
nail
