Classic Gel Manicures

Structured Gel Manicures

Overlays enhance natural nails' strength and aesthetics. Structured manicures use thick gel overlays (structure gel) for durability.

Types of structured manicures are based on gel used:

Natural Nail Overlays

Soft Gel Overlays They are known for being flexible and offering a more natural look and feel than hard gels. They provide added strength and can be soaked off with acetone for removal.

Hard Gel Overlays These are a thicker, more viscous gel that forms a strong, inflexible layer on the nail Hard gel overlays are known for their strength and durability, making them suitable for extending nail length They are generally considered more resilient and longer lasting than soft gel overlays. However, hard gels cannot be soaked off and require filing for removal.

Builder Gel Overlays: Builder in a Bottle (BIAB) is a specific type of builder gel known for its dual functionality as a base gel and a builder gel that can be used to add length or strengthen the natural nail.

Acrylic Overlays: Acrylic overlays involve layering a powder onto the natural nail, which is then shaped and buffed to create a durable, protective layer. Acrylic overlays are known for their strength and are a good option for those who are hard on their nails or require extra durability. However, they are more rigid than gels and require a more intensive application process and removal, sometimes requiring filing and soaking.

A classic gel manicure is an exceptional nail treatment that delivers a long-lasting, chip-resistant, and stunningly high-shine finish, comparable to traditional polish.

Here's how a classic gel manicure differs from a regular manicure:

• Gel polish vs. regular polish: Gel polish is a specialized formula cured under a UV or LED lamp, creating a strong, hard layer. Regular nail polish, on the other hand, air-dries and is more prone to chipping.

• Longevity: Gel manicures are known for their durability, lasting an average of 2-3 weeks without chipping or fading. Regular polish typically chips within days.

• Removal: Gel polish requires soaking in acetone.
