Usually, A gel nail application happens in 3 steps. We prepare the nails of the hands or feet, we apply the gel manicure and finally the finish. In this article, the nail supply expert Maryton will tell you everything.

Nail preparation

This step is similar to all manicures. The goal is to prepare the nails of the hands or feet for the application of gel nails. We start by pushing back the cuticles and then filing the nails with a nail drill machine.

Gel nail application

This step depends essentially on the reason for your visit. If it is to strengthen your nails, the nail technician will sculpt a false nail with the gel and have it catalyze for 120 seconds under a UV or LED lamp.

If your visit is for a nail extension, the nail technician will use capsules that she sticks on your nails then cut and file them to the desired length and then cover everything with gel and catalyze.

Finishing

The final step is a manicure. It will mostly depend on what you want. Semi-permanent varnish, simple, nail art. Everything is gel compatible.
