About Gel Nails

Colour and Finish Choices That Change the Price

Standard gel polish from the same brand usually costs less than builder formulas with pigment. French finishes, ombré blends, and chrome powders add 20 to 45 minutes of labour. Magnetic cat-eye shades need a specific magnet held for 5 seconds per nail. Detailed art, glitter gradients, and hand-painted designs raise the final invoice significantly.

At-Home Maintenance Between Salon Visits

Apply cuticle oil twice daily to keep the surrounding skin flexible. Wear gloves for cleaning, since solvents dissolve the top coat within minutes. Avoid using nails as tools to pry open packages. Book a refill every 2 to 3 weeks to balance growth and prevent stress fractures across the gel surface.

The lamp matters: UV versus LED output

LED lamps cure gel 2 to 3 times faster, usually at 24 to 48 watts. UV lamps work but take longer and need bulb changes every 3 to 6 months. Mismatched lamps cause tacky layers that peel early. Ask the technician which lamp brand matches the gel system they use.

Common nail problems gel can hide or worsen

Gel can mask discoloration for a short period, but it does not treat fungal infections. Wearing gel over an undiagnosed problem can trap moisture and make it worse. Tell the technician about any green, yellow, or lifting nails before application. A patch test helps if you react often to cosmetics.

What Happens During the Curing Process

Each gel coat cures under an LED lamp at 365 to 405 nm for 30 to 60 seconds. UV lamps need 2 minutes per layer and run hotter. Incomplete curing leaves a tacky layer that smudges and peels. Confirm the lamp wattage and replace bulbs every 6 months, since weak output is a common cause of soft gels.

Red Flags to Watch During Your First Appointment

Dusty drills, reused buffers, and shared files between clients signal poor hygiene. Thick gel that does not flex when pressed was applied too heavy. Numbness, heat spikes during curing, or strong chemical odours mean the product or lamp is wrong. Leave immediately and request a refund if any warning appears.

Typical price ranges and what changes the cost

A basic gel manicure runs 25 to 50 dollars in most areas. Add 10 to 30 dollars for removal of old gel, French tips, or nail art. Builder gel, extensions, or detailed designs can push the total past 80 dollars. Location, technician experience, and product brand all influence the final price.

Maintenance between appointments

Use cuticle oil once a day and avoid prolonged water contact. Wear gloves for dishes and cleaning. If a corner lifts, do not glue it back; book a repair to prevent moisture under the gel. Keep nails at a practical length of 3 to 5 mm beyond the fingertip to reduce snagging.

How Long a Gel Set Should Last Without Lifting

A correctly applied gel manicure holds 14 to 21 days on natural nails. Shorter wear points to moisture trapped under the base, thick application, or oily nail beds. Long wear beyond 4 weeks can mean the gel grows out too far, increasing snagging and breakage. Schedule refills within the safe window.

What gel nails are and how they differ from regular polish

Gel nails use a special liquid that hardens under a UV or LED lamp, unlike regular polish that air dries. Each coat cures in about 30 to 60 seconds under LED or 2 minutes under UV. The finished surface resists chips for 2 to 3 weeks. The product stays flexible until cured, so the technician must apply it in thin layers.
