Remove old polish at home 24 hours before so the technician can start clean. Push back, do not cut, your cuticles for 3 days prior. Avoid oils, creams, or cuticle softener on appointment day because they block adhesion. File any sharp edges square so the technician can assess your natural nail length.
Lifting within 5 days usually means the nail was not dehydrated or the product was applied too thick. Yellowing comes from UV exposure or dark pigment without a base coat. Cracking at the sidewall points to a tip pressed on too narrow. Bubbles form when the gel is cured too hot or too thick.
Gel removes with 100 percent acetone soaked in foil for 10 to 15 minutes. Acrylic needs an electric file or careful soaking, never peeling or biting off. Dip powder lifts with acetone and a coarse file. Forceful removal strips the top nail layer and causes thinning for 4 to 6 months.
Gel uses a UV-cured liquid layer, acrylic mixes a powder with liquid monomer, and dip powder is brushed on then sealed. Gel feels lighter and looks glossier. Acrylic is harder and stronger for long extensions. Pick based on how much length you want and how often you can return for fills.
Gel polish typically lasts 14 to 21 days without major chipping. Acrylic extensions need a fill every 2 to 3 weeks as the natural nail grows. Dip powder lasts around 21 to 28 days. Lifting, peeling, or yellowing within 1 week usually signals poor application or preparation.
Metal tools should be cleaned in disinfectant between clients or run through an autoclave. Files and buffers must be new or replaced for each visit, since reused porous tools carry bacteria. Pedicure bowls must be disinfected after every use. If you see dirty implements, leave and book elsewhere.
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.
