What is gel styling?

Gel styling is a technique where a special gel is applied to the nail plate, which is then cured with a UV or LED lamp. Nail gels differ from hybrid polishes in that they have a thicker consistency and are often used for modelling the shape of the nail, such as extensions or building volume. Gel styling is long-lasting, damage-resistant and also offers the possibility of amazing visual effects.

Advantages of gel styling

1. Durability and resistance - Gel styling is characterised by its exceptional durability, which lasts from 3 to 4 weeks. Thanks to the gel formula, the nails are resistant to breakage, chipping and scratching, making it the perfect choice for those looking for a manicure that will look perfect for a longer period of time.
2. Possibility of nail extensions - One of the main advantages of gel styling is the possibility of extending the nails. With this technique, you can achieve different shapes, lengths and also customise the look of your nails. Gel allows you to create strong, natural-looking nails that look elegant and stylish.
3. Aesthetics and elegance - Gel styling produces exceptional visual effects. Depending on the technique chosen and accessories used, nails can be subtle and elegant or more creative and ornate. The possibilities are virtually endless - from the classic French manicure, to ombre, to advanced designs and decorative applications.
4. Safe for the natural nail plate - Unlike some other methods, such as nail tips, gel styling does not damage the natural nail plate. When done properly, the styling does not affect the health of the nails and the gel acts as an extra layer of protection to prevent breakage and splitting.
5. Easy care - Gel nails are easy to care for. Compared to other types of manicure, they do not require frequent touch-ups. All you need to do is apply oil to your cuticles regularly to keep them in good condition. If the nail is damaged, the gel can easily be repaired or one of the layers replaced.

How to do a gel styling step by step?

Gel styling requires a precise approach, so it's worth following a few steps to ensure an effective and long-lasting manicure:

1. Nail preparation - The first step in gel styling is to clean your nails thoroughly. Any residue from the previous manicure should be removed, the nails filed to the desired shape and cuticles pushed back. It is also a good idea to matt the nail plate so that the gel adheres better.
2. Base application - A layer of base coat is applied to the prepared plate to help the gel adhere better to the nail. The base is then cured in a UV or LED lamp for a few minutes.
3. Application of modelling gel - The next step is to apply the appropriate nail design gel. If you wish to extend your nails, a special builder gel is applied to the base to achieve the desired length and shape. The gel should be cured in a lamp.
4. Shaping - Once the gel has been cured in the lamp, the nails are ready to be shaped into the final shape with a file. Be sure to file the edges carefully so that the nails look neat and even
5. Application of colour or embellishments - Once the nails have the right shape, you can move on to the application of coloured gel. Depending on your preference, you can opt for a solid colour, ombre, French manicure or add embellishments such as glitter, pollen or 3D embellishments. After each colour layer, cure in a lamp.
6. Apply top coat and finish - The final step is to apply a top coat to protect the entire style and add shine. Once the top is cured in the lamp, wipe the nails with a cotton swab soaked in product to remove excess stickiness and ensure a smooth surface.
