Geelmaniküür

Geelmaniküür, often referred to as gel manicure, is a type of nail polish that uses a gel-based formula. This gel is then cured under an ultraviolet (UV) or LED lamp, causing it to harden and create a durable, long-lasting finish. Unlike traditional nail polish, gel manicures are known for their chip-resistant properties and extended wear, often lasting two to three weeks without fading or peeling.

The application process for a geelmaniküür typically involves several steps. First, the nails are prepared, often by buffing the surface to ensure proper adhesion. A base coat of gel is then applied and cured under the lamp. Following this, one or more coats of colored gel polish are applied, with each layer being cured individually. Finally, a top coat is applied and cured to seal the color and provide a high-gloss finish.

Removal of a geelmaniküür also requires a specific process. It generally involves soaking the nails in acetone, which breaks down the gel. The softened gel is then gently scraped away. While geelmaniküür offers durability and a professional look, it's important to note that improper application or removal can potentially damage the natural nail. Many salons offer geelmaniküür services, and home application kits are also available.
