Gel nails are among the most natural-looking of all nail enhancements and worth thinking about if you want nails that look like your own, moreover it is longer and stronger :) but you may want to consider a short one as it is easier to maintain.
Gel nails are created by applying layers of gel acrylic to the nails. Nails must be dry with an ultraviolet light. A good manicurist is important as doing it yourself is tricky. That said, the basic steps are:
- Attach tips
- Trim tips
- File tips to shape
- Blend tips
- Buff & smooth
- Apply few layers of gel acrylic
- Dry under UV light between the application
- Once set, file and buff the nails
- Apply topcoat
Something to take note: gel nails need maintenance every 2-4 weeks, depending on how quickly your nails grow. Also, when any enhancement are removed, your natural nails may be paper thin :(
