Nail Cream




Gel nails are the next step towards having great looking nails. Gel nails are enhancements which look as natural as a normal nail. They are thin, flexible, non porous and non yellowing. Gel nails can be used for tip overlays and natural nail overlays. Fiberglass or silk can be added to gels for extra strength.

Gel nails are also treated as the future of the nail industry. A gel nail has a natural look combined with the convenience and durability of acrylic nails. Acrylic nails have a lot of disadvantage, such as odor, lifting and nail damage etc. Today's clients want the natural beauty combined with strength and durability. And therefore gel nails. Its the best of both the worlds.

Gels give you express nails


Instant length and beauty can be achieved. Just as hair color is an enhancement to hair, but is not fake hair, gel nails are enhancements, a gel which forms a strong bonded base coat to protect from craking, splitting, peeling and chipping. Gel nails are totally compatible to paraffin wax or hand facials.

Myths about Gels

Gel nails are very easy to apply just like nail polish. Gel Nails are lumpy, because you can't file them. The truth is gel nails are non porous and completely cured and there is no need to file them.

Gel Nails are High End

Just as you have high end super marts for that niche buyer, similarly lets accept the fact that gel nails are a lifestyle choice and are distinguished from other normal nail services. While some salons will cater to the theory of quantity sales, , salons providing gel nails services are primarily upmarket and for a selected few only.

Combining Gels with Fiber Wraps

When using fiber with gels, apply 1 thin coat of gel to remaining nail, cure 1 full cycle, apply white get to area needed, chipped corner etc, cure 1 full cycle, then apply a piece of fiber large enough to bridge from extended area or cracked area back over to the remaining part of the nail. Make sure it doesnt hang off the edges, or touch the side walls. Pat in to tacky residue from last cure until it disappears. Now continue with at least one more coat of get as usual.

So now you know though its not that easy to get you self gel nails, it ain't difficult either. So what are you waiting for, go ahead and pamper your nails to don that new gel look.
