The technician shapes the nail, removes dead cuticle, buffs the surface, and applies base coat, colour, and top coat. For extensions, a tip or form is glued or fitted before layers are built up. Each gel layer cures under a UV or LED lamp for 30 to 60 seconds before the next coat.
Wear gloves for cleaning, washing dishes, or gardening to protect the design. Apply cuticle oil once a day to keep the nail bed flexible. Avoid using nails as tools to pry or scrape. Reapply a fresh top coat every 7 to 10 days to restore shine and seal the colour.
Price varies with the technician's experience, the salon's location, and the complexity of the design. Plain gel is the baseline, hand-painted art adds per nail, and 3D elements or rhinestones add more. Long extensions cost extra over short overlays. Always ask for a written quote covering the full work.
Gel uses a soft gel cured under a UV or LED lamp for 30 to 60 seconds per layer. Acrylic mixes a liquid monomer with a powder polymer and hardens in the air within 2 to 3 minutes. Dip powder seals the nail in colour powder and activator. Gel feels lighter, acrylic is stronger, dip sits between them.
A gel manicure on natural nails lasts 14 to 21 days before visible lifting at the cuticle. Acrylic extensions last 3 to 4 weeks before a fill is needed. Dip powder holds 3 to 5 weeks with normal use. Growth rate, water exposure, and nail oil use all shorten these windows.
Metal tools should pass through a hospital-grade autoclave or be fully immersed in a registered cold sterilant for the label time, usually 20 to 30 minutes. Files and buffers must be new for each client. Disposable items like pumice sticks and toe separators are single-use only and discarded in a closed bin after.
The technician sanitises both hands, then trims and files to the agreed shape. Cuticle work follows with nippers or a soft remover. A dehydrator and primer go on, then the chosen product in thin layers. Each layer cures or sets fully before the next, finishing with a top coat and cuticle oil.
Apply cuticle oil twice a day for 7 days after the appointment. Wear gloves for cleaning or dish washing because hot water softens the bond. Avoid using nails as tools to pry or scrape. Book a fill every 14 to 21 days for gel and every 2 to 4 weeks for acrylic.
Nail design covers shaping, cuticle work, and the application of colour or art on fingernails and toenails. Common options include gel polish, acrylic or gel extensions, nail strengthening overlays, and detailed hand-painted art. Ask which specific service is included before booking so the price matches the work you want done.
A basic gel manicure usually takes 35 to 50 minutes. An acrylic or gel extension full set takes 60 to 90 minutes. Detailed hand-painted art on every nail can add 20 to 40 minutes. Book extra time if you want both hands and feet done in one visit.
