Gel nails

2025/2/24 Edited to

Gel nails are a popular choice for those seeking durable and beautifully polished nails. Unlike traditional polish, gel nails are cured under UV light, providing a long-lasting finish that resists chipping and peeling. For anyone considering gel nails, it’s crucial to select quality products. Begin with a clean nail surface by removing any old polish and pushing back cuticles. Use a primer or base coat, followed by your chosen gel color, applying thin layers to avoid bulkiness. Cure each layer separately under a UV lamp for optimal hardening. Maintenance is key! To prolong the life of your gel nails, avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or excessive water. Regular moisturizing will keep surrounding skin and cuticles healthy. When it's time to remove nail gel, seek professional help or learn the proper removal techniques to prevent damage to your natural nails. For added creativity, explore nail art options with gel nails. From simple designs to intricate patterns, you can personalize your manicure to suit any occasion. With proper care and techniques, gel nails can be a great way to express your personal style!

So this is part 2 of my gel X nails journey 😅

Overall, I’m so happy with my work, but the only struggle I had was to make this 3D art — I spent so much time doing it, and in the end, the top coat ruined the whole thing 🤦🏻‍♀️ In conclusion, I’ll continue doing it and see how long will it last… or how long did I last for all this 😆 #gelxn
