Manicures are an essential part of daily grooming for many women. While unpainted nails may have been fine in the past, today it is unimaginable to see a girl without well-groomed nails. Today's beauty salons offer a variety of nail care services - regardless of nail length, condition and structure. From a simple manicure with nail filing to nail extensions with artificial materials, salons offer an individual approach to each type of nail. One of these materials, widely used for nail extensions, is gel.


What is nail extension gel?


Nail extension gel is a special gel that is used to increase the length and thickness of natural nails. It is used in manicures and pedicures to create artificial nails, to strengthen weak and brittle natural nails, and can eliminate nail brittleness and promote nail growth.

Nail extension gel usually contains acrylic or gel components, which can be applied to natural nails and then cured under UV or LED light. It has a high viscosity to model the shape and length of the nails, and after curing it becomes hard and durable.

Gel nail extensions can be used to create different designs and effects on the nails, such as gradient, ombré, French and others.

When using gel nail extensions, it is extremely important to strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions and, if you have no experience with this product, seek professional advice. This will avoid possible mistakes and damage to your nails, ensuring a safe and effective application.


Benefits of nail gel


Nail extension gel has many advantages:

1. Longevity: Gel nails can last up to 2 weeks or longer on natural nails, depending on the conditions of use and professionalism of the craftsman. This makes them more durable than regular nail polish, which can crumble or peel off after just a few days.

2. Resistance: Gel nails are highly resistant to damage such as chipping, scratches or fading. They can look fresh and flawless for a long time, which is especially important for those with active lifestyles.

3. Variety of designs: Gel nails allow for many creative nail design ideas. They can be designed in different colours, finishes, textures, as well as decorated with rhinestones, stickers, stamping and other decorative elements. This provides a wide range of options for creating a unique and personalised nail design.

4. Strengthening of natural nails: Nail extension gel can act as a protective barrier for natural nails, preventing nail breakage and making them stronger. This is especially useful for people with brittle or weak nails that are prone to brittleness and splitting.

5. Ability to correct nail shape and length: Gel nails allow you to correct the shape, length and smooth the surface of the natural nails. This can be especially useful for those who want to change the shape or length of their nails, but cannot achieve it naturally.

6. Faster drying: gel nails dry under a UV or LED lamp, which makes the application and drying process faster.

7. Shine: Gel nails not only give a luxurious shine, but also do not lose their shine over time.


Types of extension gels


Nail extension gels can be one-phase, two-phase or three-phase.


These gels are designed for all stages of nail extension, including base coat, shaping and finishing. They contain all the necessary components such as binders, monomers and polymers in one bottle. The single-phase gels are easy to use, because they do not require mixing of the different products and usually provide good adhesion and durability.



These gels are made up of two separate components, the base gel and the top gel. The base gel is applied to the nail before shaping, while the top gel is applied after modelling the nail and giving it the desired shape. Two-phase gels can offer more flexibility in adjusting the viscosity and curing time: they can be mixed in various proportions depending on the results required.



These gels consist of three separate components: base gel, medium gel and top gel. They are used for nail extensions in several steps, including base coat, nail modelling and top coat. Three-phase gels usually require more careful mixing and control of the proportions between components, and can be more difficult to use, but they also offer more flexibility in adjusting work settings.

When choosing nail gels for nail extensions, it is important to consider your level of experience and work preference, as well as the manufacturers' recommendations and instructions for use.


Coloured nail gels for nail extensions


Coloured nail extension gels are products used in beauty salons and by manicurists to create and decorate artificial nails. These gels are a type of material used in gel nail extensions. They are a thick, viscous mass that cures under ultraviolet (UV) or light emitting diode (LED) light, forming a permanent coating on the nail plate.

Coloured gels are available in different shades, from classic neutrals to vivid and saturated gels. They allow for a variety of nail designs and effects such as gradients, French, ombré, marbled textures, glitter, chrome plating and more.

Nail extension gels with shimmer


Nail extension gels with shimmer are gels which are used by manicure and pedicure professionals to create artificial nails with a shimmering effect. Shimmer are small particles that give the nails a bright shimmering effect, creating a playful and vibrant look.

Gels with shimmer are usually applied on natural nails or on artificial nails such as acrylics or gel nails. They can have different shades and sizes of shimmer, which allows for a variety of designs and effects on the nails. Shimmer gels can also be used in combination with other gel lacquers, decorations and manicure techniques to create unique nail designs. They have a long-lasting, long-lasting finish and can be a good choice for those who want to add brightness and sparkle to their manicure.


Hard nail extension gel


Hard gel nail extension is an innovative product used in nail extension treatments. It is a viscous, dense mass, which can be used for giving shape, length and strength to natural nails or artificial nail plates.

Hard gel nail extensions contain acrylic or gel components, which, when mixed with other chemical constituents and cured by ultraviolet (UV) or LED light, create a strong and durable coating on the nails. It can be used to create different nail shapes, such as square, oval, pointed or amanda nails, and to create decorative elements on the nails, such as french manicures, gradient effects, drawings, etc.

Hard gel nail extensions are usually used by professional manicurists and pedicurists, and require a certain skill and knowledge to apply and model nails correctly. If applied incorrectly, it can cause damage to the nail plate or the skin around the nail. It is therefore recommended to consult an experienced manicurist or pedicurist if you decide to use hard gel nail extensions.


Gel application technique for nail extensions


Applying gel to your nails can be a tricky process requiring precision and attention to detail. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get your nails gelled properly:
 
  • Step 1: Prepare your nails 
Remove any old nail polish or gel remnants with a nail polish remover. Push back the cuticle with a manicure stick or metal loop. If necessary, trim the cuticle gently with scissors or clippers.
 
  • Step 2: Clean nails 
Clean your nails with a special disinfectant to remove any oily or greasy residues that may prevent the gel from bonding.
 
  • Step 3: Apply the basecoat
Apply a thin coat of base gel to the nails, avoiding contact with the cuticle and lateral shafts. Place your nails under a UV or LED light and harden the gel according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  • Step 4: Apply Gel
Apply a thin layer of gel to the nails, spreading it evenly over the whole surface of the nail. Avoid contact with the cuticle and lateral shafts. Place your nails under a UV or LED light and harden the gel according to the manufacturer's instructions. If required, apply another coat of gel to achieve the desired colour intensity.
 
  • Step 5: Apply the top coat
Apply a thin layer of top coat to the nails, covering the entire surface of the gel. The top will help to fix the gel and give a shine to the nails. Place your nails under a UV or LED light and harden the gel according to the manufacturer's instructions.
 
  • Step 6: Finish
Remove any remaining dispersion (sticky layer) of the top coat with a special product.


How do I choose a nail extension gel?


The choice of nail extension gel depends on several factors. Here are a few tips to help you make the right choice:

1. Gel Type: There are different types of gels available for nail extensions such as acrylate based gels, gel based gels and silk based gels. Each type of gel has its own characteristics and benefits. For example, acrylate-based gels are more durable and can be suitable for creating long-lasting nails, while gel-based gels are more flexible and can give a natural-looking nail. The choice of gel type depends on your preference and experience with gels.
 
2. Brand: The nail extension gel market has many brands and the quality of the products can vary. It is advisable to choose gel from well-known and reliable brands that have positive reviews from professionals and clients.
 
3. Gel properties: Pay attention to the properties of the gel such as its viscosity, curing time (the time it takes the gel to cure under UV or LED light), colour and clarity. Choose the gel that suits your requirements and style of work.
 
4. Experience: Your experience with nail extension gels may also influence your choice. If you are a beginner, you may be wise to choose a medium viscosity gel with a long curing time so you have more time to model your nail shape. If you already have experience, you can experiment with different types of gels and choose the one that best suits your needs.
 
5. Budget: Nail extension gels can have different prices and your budget can also influence your choice. Set a budget limit that you are willing to spend and look for gels that suit your financial capabilities.

6. Consult with professionals: If you are unsure of your choice, feel free to consult a professional such as a nail extensionist.
