Composition and Types
- UV/LED gels are polymers that harden under ultraviolet (UV) light or light-emitting diodes (LED)
- They are available in various types, including base gels, builder gels, top gels, and color gels
- There are also soak-off gels that can be easily removed by soaking in a special solution
Advantages
- UV/LED gels create strong, long-lasting nails that can last for several weeks without chipping
- They provide a natural look and can be used to extend nails, strengthen the natural nail plate, and create various nail art design
- Due to quick curing under UV or LED lamps, the application process is relatively fast
- Compared to traditional liquid/powder systems, UV/LED gels emit less intense odor
Application Process
- Nails need to be properly prepared, including cleaning, buffing the nail surface, and applying a dehydrator
- Layers of gel are applied in sequence – base, builder, and top – with each layer being cured under a UV or LED lamp
- Decorations such as glitter, patterns, or colored gels can be added during the process
Removal
- Soak-off gels can be removed by soaking the nails in a special solution, usually acetone, for about 10-15 minutes, after which the gel is gently removed
- Traditional gels may require filing, which can be more time-consuming and requires skill to avoid damaging the natural nail plate
