If you’re new to this trend, we’ll give you a quick catch-up: gel nail polish is a type of product that can guarantee a manicure that lasts forever. It is more durable than any other type of manicure, which is why it is so popular. And its popularity is getting better and better.

You need to be especially careful during this procedure not to spill the gel on the cuticles around the nail. Properly applied gel requires light-curing in an LED lamp for about 30 seconds. Gel nail extension is a minimum of three layers of gel. What if the application of the gel is unsuccessful? Then you need to file it and get rid of excess product.
