Gel Nails FAQs

Where can I get gel nails with nail art near me?

Many nail technicians offer gel nails with designs, from simple patterns to intricate art. Browse and book nail art specialists near you on Fresha.

How often should I get my gel nails redone?

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.

What's the difference between gel and shellac nails?

Gel and shellac nails both cure under UV light, but their composition is different. Gel nail polish is a lacquer made from acrylic monomers and oligomers; shellac polish is part gel, part regular nail polish, and is a patented brand by Creative Nail Design (CND). Both give a high shine and long-lasting finish.

How long do gel nails last?

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.

How much do gel nails cost?

Gel nails cost between ZAR 85 and ZAR 495 in Observatory.

What's the difference between gel nails and gel polish?

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.

What are gel nails?

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.
