Benefits Of Gel Manicure

www.findtheSpa.com

A gel manicure is a type of nail treatment in which a nail technician uses gel to bind synthetic fingernails to natural ones and color them. The gel can also be applied over natural nails like regular polish. Though gel nails are generally long-lasting and don't chip, people do have to take special care when removing them, and the application process may be associated with health problems.

During a gel manicure, a nail technician first cleans and shapes a person's natural nails and pushes the cuticles back. He or she then applies a base coat, which helps the fake nail or polish adhere better, and then applies several coats of polish to the nails. After each layer is painted on, the person getting the manicure puts his or her hands under a small Ultra Violet (UV) lamp for a few seconds or minutes to cure and harden it. The nail technician ends by applying a clear top coat to seal and protect the nails.

Gel nails can be painted any color, but many people choose to get clear ones for a natural look. The color generally lasts for a few weeks without significantly changing, but tanning beds can cause a slight yellowing. The gel itself is usually a soft white color, which can enhance the look of a person's fingernail tips. Many people prefer a gel manicure since it's odorless, has a realistic look and feel, and is usually long-lasting.
