Nails are shaped and filed. Cuticles are pushed back, hands moisturised and the gel polish of your choice is applied.
Gel polish is stronger than normal nail polish. It has to be cured under a lamp which means it dries immediately, so there is no need to worry about smudging your nails whilst they dry. It lasts longer than standard polish and your gel nails can last up to 2 weeks if taken care of.
