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.

Gel nails tend to give a more natural and glossier finish than acrylic nails; they are cured under a UV lamp and last for around 2 weeks. Acrylic nails are stronger than gels and start to cure as soon as they’re exposed to air; they generally last for 6-8 weeks but will need fills after 2 weeks to hide regrowth. Both can be used to lengthen nails and both can damage your natural nails.

Once you’ve had gel nails applied, they should remain chip-free for between 2-3 weeks.

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.
