Once every 2 weeks. Gel nails cure (harden) in UV light; this means they continue to cure in natural sunlight. The longer you keep your polish on, the longer it cures and the harder it is to remove. To reduce the risk of stripping and damaging your nails, it’s recommended that you book in with an experienced nail technician to remove and redo your gel nail polish every 2 weeks.

Gel nails are a type of nail enhancement or manicure that uses a gel-based polish or product cured under a UV or LED lamp. Options include gel polish over natural nails, soft gel overlays, and builder gel for added strength: all offering a longer-lasting, chip-resistant finish.

Although gel manicures look beautiful, they can cause your natural nails to become brittle. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that repeated use of gel nails can increase the risk of skin cancer and the premature ageing of skin on the hands.

Gel polish is a thin, flexible coating applied like regular nail polish and cured under a lamp, it sits on top of the natural nail. Builder gel adds strength and can extend the nail. Both are cured under UV/LED light.

Gel nails typically last 2–3 weeks without chipping. With proper care, avoiding harsh chemicals and keeping nails moisturised, they can last up to 3 weeks. Gel polish is removed by soaking in acetone rather than peeling.
