Gel Manicure

A gel manicure is a manicure where the color is gel-based and cured under a UV/LED lamp, so it dries instantly and lasts way longer than regular polish 💅 Here’s the simple, clear version: What a gel manicure includes • Nail shaping and cuticle prep • A gel base coat (cured under lamp) • Gel color (usually 1–3 thin coats, cured between each) • Gel top coat (cured, then wiped if needed) What makes it different from regular polish • Cured with a lamp, not air-dried • No smudging—you’re good to go immediately • Lasts 2–3 weeks with minimal chipping • Has a high-gloss, smooth finish What it does not include • ❌ No added length • ❌ No structure or strength (unless you add builder gel) • It’s mainly for color and shine, not reinforcement Pros • Long-lasting • Fast drying • Great for everyday wear • Tons of color options Cons • Can cause damage if peeled or removed incorrectly • Needs soak-off removal • Not ideal for very weak or peeling nails without reinforcement

Soft/Builder Gel Overlay

Soft gel is a type of builder gel. Soft gel overlays are for SHORT natural nails. Soft gel is not meant to extend the nail or overlay enhancements. It can be soaked off.

Hard Gel Overlay

Hard gel is a type of builder gel. It can be for short, medium or long natural nails. A hard gel overlay will go over your natural nails, no nail enhancements.

Gel X Full Set

Apres Gel-X is a soft gel nail extension system—basically a quicker, cleaner alternative to acrylics that still gives you length and structure 💅 What they are • Pre-shaped, full-coverage soft gel tips • Made to cover the entire natural nail from cuticle to free edge • Bonded on with gel (not glue) and cured under a lamp Why people love them • ⏱️ Faster application than acrylics • 💨 No odor, no dust • ✨ Super smooth base = less filing • 💅 Lightweight and natural-feeling • 🧼 Soak-off removal (when done correctly) How they differ from acrylics • Acrylic = liquid + powder, air-dry, more rigid • Gel-X = soft gel tips, flexible, cured with UV/LED • Less damage when applied and removed properly Longevity • Typically last 2–4 weeks • Retention depends on prep, lifestyle, and nail health (just like builder gel) Great for • Clients who want length without thick acrylic • People with brittle nails who want something lighter

Hard Gel Full Set

Enhancements using hard gel and tips

Gel X with Hard Gel Overlay

GelX extensions have a built in Apex for long wear a durability, although, they can still be soaked off. Sometimes if you are rougher on your nails you’d prefer to have them a little thicker, just not as thick and strong as hard gel. Adding a soft gel overlay will give you the perfect feeling of not as thin as gel x but not as thick as acrylic!

Hard Gel Fill

A builder gel fill is a maintenance appointment where existing builder gel is refreshed instead of completely removed. Also used to perform fills on a gel-x full set💅 Here’s exactly what that means in simple terms: What a builder gel fill is • Performed 2–4 weeks after the original builder gel set • The old builder gel is partially filed down, not soaked off completely • New builder gel is applied to: • Rebuild the apex • Cover new growth • Restore strength and balance What happens during the service 1. Shorten and reshape the nails 2. File down bulk and remove lifting 3. Cuticle prep 4. Apply builder gel to the regrowth area 5. Rebuild structure (apex) 6. Apply gel color or top coat 7. Cure and finish Why fills are done • Maintains nail health • Prevents over-filing the natural nail • Keeps nails strong and balanced • Saves time compared to a full removal
