EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NAIL GEL FILLING
Gel nails are a great option for people who want long-lasting, beautiful nails. However, to keep them in perfect condition, it is necessary to fill your nails in gel from time to time. On this page, we will explain what gel nail filling is, why it is important and how we do it in my nail salon in Estepona.
What is gel nail filler?
Gel nail filling is a technique used to keep gel nails in perfect condition. When you get a gel manicure, your nails are covered with several layers of gel that are dried under a special lamp. Over time, the nails grow and the gel moves away from the natural nail, causing the nails to lose their perfect appearance.
To solve this problem, a gel nail fill is done, which consists of applying a layer of new gel on top of the old gel. In this way, the nails look perfect and long-lasting again.
Why is it important to do a gel nail filler?
Doing a gel nail filler is important for several reasons:
Maintenance of the duration: When you do a gel nail filler, the duration of the manicure is extended. If the filling is not done in time, the gel may break or peel off the natural nail, which will not only ruin the look of your nails, but can also be dangerous for your fingers.
Prevents nails from weakening: If you don’t do a gel nail filler, the old gel will pull away from the natural nail, weakening your nails and leaving them more vulnerable to breaking.
Flawless appearance: When you do a gel nail filler, your nails look like the first day again, which is ideal if you want to maintain a flawless appearance at all times.
How do I do a gel nail filler at my nail salon?
Doing a gel nail filler is quite easy. First you have to use the following elements:
- Nail file
- Cuticle oil
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Nail gel
- UV or LED lamp
- Gel brush
Steps to follow:
- Start by filing your nails to remove any old gel residue. Be sure not to file too hard, as this will weaken your nails.
- Apply a small amount of cuticle oil to your nails and gently massage to hydrate.
- Clean your nails with isopropyl alcohol to remove any traces of oil or dirt.
- Apply a thin layer of nail gel to the surface of each nail. Make sure you cover the entire surface of the nail, but do not overdo it with the gel.
- Please use the UV or LED lamp to dry the gel for a few minutes.
- Apply another coat of gel to each nail, this time slightly thicker than the first. Use the gel brush to spread it evenly.
- Dry your nails again with UV or LED lamp.
Finally, apply a coat of clear gel to seal all the work done and give your nails a smooth, even look. - Let dry with UV or LED lamp.
Additional Tips:
- Be sure to do your gel nail filler every 2-3 weeks to keep your nails in perfect condition.
- Do not clean your nails with water immediately after doing the gel nail filler, as this can cause the gel to break down.
- If you don’t feel comfortable doing your gel nail filler at home, you can always go to a nail salon to have it done professionally.

Yes, as long as it’s done correctly. It is important not to over file your nails during the process and not to aggressively remove the old gel.
