What is Structure Gel?
Structure gel is a method that uses soft gel to make your natural nails stronger and thicker before adding gel polish if wanted. This helps prevent easy breakage and provides a sturdy base. Unlike a regular gel manicure, where the polish goes directly on your natural nails, structure gel will give your nails a tougher foundation. This extra layer makes your manicure last longer, as the polish sticks to a stronger base, reducing the chances of chipping.
At Polish Nail Bar, we recommend this for people with a busy schedule who don’t have time for frequent appointments. Once the soft gel is set, it stays resilient against different conditions, keeping its shape without shrinking or expanding. Its flexible quality absorbs shocks, giving extra protection against any nail breakage or cracks.
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 and use the beneficial oilab nail oil as a manicure aftercare.
Why choose Structure Gel?
Added strength to the natural nail: Natural nails can vary in strength and structure gel will help to stabilize your natural nail if you find yourself having thin and weak nails.
Improved Appearance: Adding a layer of structure gel can help you achieve a fuller look on your natural nails. If you have damaged nail plates, the nail technicians at Polish Nail Bar will be able to fill in ridges or demarcations to make your nails look even.
Durability: Structure gel contains monomers that adhere well to the natural nails without the use of rough prep and bonder. The formula will help you to not put your nails through too many chemicals .
UV Protection: We prioritize your safety, and that extends to providing UV protection during the curing process. This extends to providing optional sunscreen, safeguarding your skin during the curing process under UV or LED lights.
Long-Lasting Gloss: Enjoy a consistently glossy finish throughout the entire duration of your manicure, adding a touch of glamour to your everyday look.

Treatment steps
1. Removal of structure gel: If you have existing structure gel on your nails we initiate the removal process by using an efile to gently file down the layers and let it soak in acetone for an effective and thorough removal. (15 minutes)
2. Preparation of nails and cuticles (15 - 20 minutes): We meticulously push back cuticles, clean and trim them, cut and shape the nails, buff the surface for smoothless and conclude with an alcohol cleanse to eliminate dust and excess oils, ensuring an ideal surface for the structure gel application.
3.Application of Sunscreen and/or gloves:
Prior to the application of structure gel on your nails, we offer an additional service for our comfort. Would you like us to apply sunscreen to your hands or provide a pair of gloves to protect your skin during the process? Your well-being is important to us, and we’re here to ensure your experience is as enjoyable as possible.
4. Applying structure gel: We initiate the process by applying a base coat to your nails, which is then cured under the LED lamp for approximately 60 seconds. Subsequently, our skilled nail technician applies layers of your selected structure gel colour, with each layer cured for about 60 seconds.
5. Applying Gel Polish (Optional): If you are looking for a bolder colour than the available structure gel options, you have the option to enhance your look by adding gel polish on top. The application concludes with a top coat, providing a polished and vibrant finish.
6. Cuticle oil application: We complete the treatment with a nourishing oil to promote healthy nails and cuticles.
* Please note that the duration of the treatment may vary for each customer, as it depends on the individual condition of the hands and nails. We take the necessary time to ensure meticulous removal, precise nail and cuticle preparation, and the flawless application of gel polish, tailored to the unique needs of each client.
