Plan 40 minutes for a classic polish, 60 minutes for gel, and 80 minutes for shellac or builder gel extensions. Add 10 minutes if both hands and feet are booked. Professionals need a ventilated spot, a flat surface at chair height, and access to at least 2 electrical outlets for lamps and tools.
Prices vary by technique, nail condition, and add-ons. Gel costs about 30% to 50% more than classic polish. French tips, chrome powder, or hand-painted art add time, so each nail art design can raise the total by 15% to 25%. Travel distance matters.
A classic manicure at home lasts 30 to 45 minutes. A gel application takes 45 to 60 minutes because each coat needs 30 to 60 seconds under the LED lamp. Add 10 minutes if you want nail art on more than two fingers.
Peeling within 3 days points to poor nail prep or oily residue. Bubbles in gel mean the polish was applied too thick or the lamp was underpowered. White spots often signal dehydration, not calcium loss. Burning under the lamp signals an incompatible gel formula or a curing time above 60 seconds per coat.
Classic polish dries in air and usually chips within 3 to 5 days. Gel polish needs a 36 to 48 W UV or LED lamp and lasts 14 to 21 days without peeling. Shellac is a softer gel-hybrid, removed in about 8 minutes with pure acetone, while classic gel needs 15 minutes of soaking and foil wraps.
The most common issue is lifting gel within 3 days, caused by oily nail plates or thick application. Bleeding cuticles happen when nippers are dull. White spots appear when nails stay wet too long. If polish chips within 24 hours, the base coat was likely skipped.
Classic polish dries in air and lasts about 4 to 5 days without chips. Gel polish cures under UV or LED and holds 10 to 14 days. Shellac is a softer gel hybrid, easier on the nail plate, but the base coat must be soaked off, not filed.
Remove old polish 24 hours in advance. Avoid applying hand cream or cuticle oil on the day, since oils block adhesion and cause gel to lift within 48 hours. Trim long nails to 3 mm above the fingertip to shorten filing time. Wash hands with soap, not alcohol-based sanitiser, right before the appointment.
A standard manicure covers 6 steps: shaping the free edge, softening cuticles, pushing back excess skin, trimming hangnails, buffing the surface, and hydrating with cuticle oil. Ask whether cuticle nippers are used or only gel removers. Nippers require more precision and raise the risk of micro-cuts if your skin is sensitive.
Remove old polish at home with a non-acetone remover the night before. Push back cuticles gently with a wooden stick after a shower. Do not cut your own cuticles. Leave nails bare so the pro can see the natural plate and choose the right prep.
