What are gel tips?
Gel tips are a type of nail extension using a durable gel-based formula. They're applied by building gel directly onto the natural nail to extend its length, then cured under UV light to harden. While hard gel is the most common and long-lasting option, soft gel nail tips, made from the same gel as gel polish, are also available.
What to expect from gel tips?
Expect similar benefits and results to acrylic nail extensions with gel tips! They enhance nails by adding length and strength, yet they're lightweight and more comfortable than acrylics. The application process is simple and fast, with curing usually under a minute.
