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.
