25 Most Alluring Gel Nail Designs

Nail art is one of the greatest pleasures we have in life, so it’s a shame when your manicure gives it your all, but the design is gone within a day or two. And gel manicures are a lifesaver for those of us prone to chips. They are a great replacement for other artificial nail applications. Acrylic nails in particular can be extremely damaging to natural nails, making them weak, brittle, more prone to breaking, and peeling worse than an onion. However, gels do not cause the same damage, even if it is a gel nail extension applied to the natural nail. This makes them a simple and popular technique for creating durable, beautiful and delicate nail art designs.

Most of the processes involved in a gel manicure are similar to those of a regular manicure, the cuticles are also cut, but after that there are significant differences. Like traditional polish, gel nail polish is applied with a brush. To keep it in place and wear for a long time, it is hardened using UV or LED light. Each application of gel polish takes between 30 and 60 seconds to fully cure. Plus, once the last top coat has dried, you’re ready to leave the salon and don’t have to wait for your nails to dry.

Due to the curing process, gel manicures normally last between ten days and three weeks. Anything beyond that usually doesn’t look great due to wear and tear and natural nail growth. With a base coat, gel nails can be strengthened to improve wear and extend their lifespan.

While the term fake gel nails usually conjures up images of long claws that take hours to apply while costing an arm and a leg, gels offer an affordable and safer way to create popular and creative nails. The sky is the limit when it comes to decorating your gel nails with a nail technician. Take a look at the many artsy designs we’ve put together and discover how fun and easy it is to create a stunning look on your fingers.
