Gel Nails I love them they will soon replace polish. With gels they your service dries as the service goes along. Which means that by the end of the service your all dry and ready to go. A gel service should take about 15 minutes longer then a regular manicure. Gels come a variety of colors looks just like polish. Clients love gel polish because the service last longer then a regular manicure. Regular polish chips within 3-4 days even if you get a dry manicure your polish will still chip maybe after 5 days. With gels your service last at least 2 weeks. You can problem get the gel manicure to last 3 weeks depending on the color you choose. I have clients that come to see me once a month. Which is great because while they are away doing the other things they love. That gives me time to have other clients in my seat and get things done around the salon that needs to be done.

There are serveral nail companies out there that are making there own line of gels. Which one is great, depends on what you like. You have the soak offs that OPI produce, CND has a gel system which is great that one you file and buff done and fill in like a acrylic set. But, not as strong as acrylics which makes it easy to take off. Entity has a great gel system which I love it's very flexible easy to controll and manage. There are serveral off brands that may work just as well.

I feel like gels are the one of the best things that has happened to me. They are not like they use to be 11 years ago. I hated them I would tell all of my clients not to go with gels. Now the new and improved gels I would rather do those instead of acrylics. They are fun because of the variety of colors and no drying time and also flexible which means you will not have breakage like they use to break back in the day.

Well that's all I have to say right now about the gels. Oh yeah and you can make beautiful nail art with them also. I am going to close these blog if anyone has questions please feel free to send me a message.
