Gel Nails 101

By: Xeng Zulueta

The Pros

1. Gel mani/pedi won’t chip like regular nail polish.

2. Promises 7-21 days of no chip, no fade, perfect and intact nailpolish.

3. It is a hybrid of gel and nail polish, that’s why it lasts longer.

4. Thin, flexible and glossy.

5. Takes ten minutes to remove.

6. Great for women who work with their hands and worry about nails chipping off.

The Cons

1. Doesn’t apply like regular nailpolish; you need to cure it under UV light. Although there are brands which eliminate the light already. But the most potent formulas need the light.

2. Chemicals leave the nail surface quite ridged and brittle.

3. Do not chip, peel or pull of the gel yourself. Only a nail technician can do this or risk damaging your nails.

4. If you like to change your nail color, this might not be the best option for you. Then just settle for chemical-free nail polish.

5. If you are on a tight budget, this might not be for you as well.
