Gel manicure with extension is one of the most popular nail styling methods today. Why? Primarily because it combines aesthetics with durability. Who among us doesn’t dream of beautiful, well-groomed nails that look like they’re from a magazine cover? That’s the magic of gel. Let’s dive into the world of this technique and discover how to achieve a long-lasting effect that catches the eye.
Why choose gel manicure with extension?
Gel manicure is the perfect solution for those who want to extend their nails without waiting for them to grow naturally. With this technique, we can achieve the desired shape and length in just a few hours. Moreover, gel is a very durable material, making the styling last much longer than traditional nail polish. Imagine not having to worry about chips for several weeks!
From our experience at Easy Nails, we know that many people fear that gel may damage natural nails. Nothing could be further from the truth! A professionally done gel manicure not only doesn’t harm the nail plate but can even strengthen it. The key, however, is proper preparation of the plate and skillful application of the gel.
How to prepare nails for gel manicure?
Before starting the styling, it’s extremely important to properly prepare the nails. This is a crucial step that often determines the durability of the entire manicure. The first step is to thoroughly clean and degrease the nail plate. Then, gently matt the surface, which will allow for better adhesion of the gel.
Let’s not forget about the cuticles – pushing them back and removing them is not only a matter of aesthetics but also hygiene. This way, we avoid unsightly streaks and ensure a more professional final effect.
The process of extending nails with gel
Now let’s move on to the extension process itself. First, we choose a form or tip that will allow us to achieve the desired nail length. Gel is applied in layers – first the base, then the building layer, and finally the top. Each layer is cured under a UV or LED lamp, ensuring the durability of the styling.
Attention to precision is important – the more carefully we apply the gel, the better the effect we achieve. If we are beginners in this field, we can use online tutorials or – as we recommend at Easy Nails – visit a professional salon.
What effect can be achieved with gel manicure?
Gel manicure with extension is not only about length but also the ability to choose from an endless palette of colors and patterns. From classic, solid colors, through ombre, to intricate decorations – the possibilities are practically limitless. At Easy Nails, we always enjoy seeing the creativity of our clients!
Did you know that gel also allows for nail decoration with various accessories, such as rhinestones, transfer foil, or stickers? It’s a great way to add individual character to your nails. What do you think? Which decorations do you like the most?
How to care for nails after gel manicure?
To enjoy beautiful manicure as long as possible, it’s worth taking care of proper maintenance. Regular moisturizing of cuticles and nails is essential. We should also avoid contact with aggressive detergents that can weaken the gel. At Easy Nails, we recommend using cuticle oils and moisturizing creams.
It’s also worth remembering that from time to time, we should give our nails a break. After several months of wearing gel, it’s good to take a break so the natural plate can regenerate. What’s your opinion on this? Do you also give your nails time to rest?
