Gel nails - your questions answered
A guide to long lasting, beautiful,
natural nails
Is it easy to change colours?
Yes. At every visit your old set would be removed and the
polish leaves no staining, allowing you free to go from a very
dark colour to a very natural look immediately.
Most women know how good it feels when your nails look
great, lovely painted nails finish an outfit and make you look
‘polished’ and these days more and more men are having
regular manicures too. Many of us have had a bad experience
with false nails and want to grow our own but they are weak or
brittle.
What is the cost?
Costs vary from salon to salon but the
average is €20-30. Make sure you visit
a reputable salon where they practice
good hygiene. In my opinion
facemasks and drills are never a good
sign.
A regular manicure is great but often it doesn’t stay looking
good for long. Our hands work hard and our nails quickly
become chipped and untidy. The answer to this is Gel Nail
Varnish sometimes called Semi Permanent Nail Varnish. This
nail varnish is long lasting and durable and if done with high
quality products will not damage your nails, in fact it can even
help them to grow longer and stronger!
How long does it take
to have them done?
Approximately 60-90 minutes depending if a previous set
needs to be removed. Your nails should be prepared and cared
for before the polish is applied.

2-3 weeks (when regrowth starts to appear) or until it is
removed.
Is it easy to remove?
Yes. A good quality product should remove very easily in 10-15
minutes with the correct product. In my experience they
should almost wipe off the nail, leaving NO damage to the nail
bed. I would normally remove a set and apply a new one at
every visit.
Will it damage my nails?
No. A good product will allow the nail to breathe and if
properly removed will cause no damage or leave any evidence
it was even there. This allows you to go back to clean, natural
nails anytime.
Can I wear them all the time?
Yes. If a good quality product is used it will actually HELP the
nail to become stronger and therefore grow longer. Allowing
you to have beautiful NATURAL nails.
