Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Gel Polish.

Gel polish typically lasts around two weeks on natural nails. Longevity depends on nail growth, daily activities, and prep. Proper application, regular cuticle care, and avoiding harsh chemicals extend wear. We recommend removal or refill after two weeks to prevent lifting.

When applied and removed correctly by a trained technician, gel polish is not inherently damaging. Improper peeling or aggressive filing causes harm. We use gentle soak-off techniques, minimal filing, and recommend nail oil and breaks between services to maintain nail health.

We remove gel polish using a professional soak-off method with acetone, protective foil wraps, and gentle tools. This minimizes filing and prevents damage. Expect about 10–20 minutes for removal. Please avoid peeling to protect your natural nails.

Yes — Gel polish is ideal for nail art, ombré, and classic French tips. Our technicians use gels and precision tools to create long-lasting designs. Complex art may require extra time or an upgrade; ask about available options during booking.

Keep your manicure chip-free by applying cuticle oil daily, wearing gloves for cleaning or gardening, avoiding acetone exposure, and refraining from picking. Gentle hand creams and regular salon touch-ups prolong wear. If lifting occurs, schedule an appointment to prevent further damage.

If lifting or chipping appears, contact us for a repair or removal to prevent catching and further damage. Avoid peeling, which removes layers of the natural nail. Prompt professional attention reduces infection risk and restores a flawless finish.
