What are UV (gel) nails?
Traditional UV gel nails are derived from acrylic. They are strong yet more flexible than acrylic. They’re perfect for clients who have dry, brittle nails as they provide a lightweight flexible feel to the nails. UV gel nails are applied using a small nylon or sable brush with a “hair gel-like” substance. The gel is brushed on like polish and then cured under a UV light to harden the nails. It can be applied over a natural nail or plastic tip, or they can be sculptured. Gel nails are odorless. They can be worn with or without polish; therefore many people prefer to. Note: Gel nails never turn yellow. They are completely translucent, and have a glass-like finish; therefore many people prefer to wear them without polish. Most gel nails cannot be removed with a chemical solvent. They must be filed thin then allowed to grow off the nails.
