What Are Gel Nails?
Gel nails are a popular nail enhancement option that closely resembles natural nails while providing durability and flexibility. Unlike acrylic nails, gel nails are lighter, more flexible, and often have a more natural appearance. They can be worn as extensions, painted, or decorated with nail art.
Gel nails are typically applied using UV or LED light to cure and harden the gel. They usually last 3-4 weeks, after which maintenance and infill procedures are required to keep them looking fresh and well-maintained.
Our comprehensive nail technician course will teach you all the techniques needed to professionally apply, maintain, and enhance gel nails from the comfort of your home.
