What are nail gel extensions?
Gel nail extensions are made of a liquid polymer and a powdered monomer that are mixed together to create a gel. This gel is applied to the nails and hardens under an LED or UV lamp. Gel extensions can last 2-3 weeks and are more flexible than acrylic extensions.
Advantages of gel nail extensions:

- Natural looking: Gel looks more natural than acrylic extensions and is not as thick.
- Flexibility: Gel is more flexible than acrylic, which means it’s less prone to breaking or chipping.
- Lighter: Gel extensions are lighter than acrylic, which means you won’t feel the extra weight on your nails.
- EASY TO REMOVE: Gel extensions can be easily removed at the salon without damaging your natural nails.
Disadvantages of gel extensions:
- Cost: They can be more expensive than acrylic.
- Duration: If not applied correctly or cared for properly, gel extensions may last a shorter time.
- Curing: The gel requires a curing process under an LED or UV lamp, which means you will need to go to a beauty salon to apply them.
