Introduction to Gel Nails

Gel nails, also known as resin nails or gel resin nails, are a type of manicure material derived from dental technology. This material, referred to as "gel resin," utilizes the similarity between the structure of teeth and nails to develop a nail extension and sculpting material that is safe for the human body. Using UV light, this material tightly adheres to the surface of natural nails, allowing for subsequent modifications and decorations, effectively protecting the natural nails.

Gel nails are generally divided into two types: Soft Gel and Hard Gel. Soft Gel, also known as Soak Off Gel, is named for its easy removal through soaking in nail remover. This type of polish is thinner and more transparent, providing a natural effect, suitable for short to medium-length nails. However, it is not durable enough for long-term extensions, with common designs being simpler, typically featuring a single color or minimal decorations.

In contrast, Hard Gel is more durable and suitable for nail extensions, allowing for various shapes to be sculpted according to preference. This type of polish can withstand everyday wear and tear, is less prone to breakage, making it ideal for repairing damaged nails, and can create more elaborate nail designs, such as crystal and glitter decorations.

Although the removal process for Hard Gel is more complex and typically requires professional nail technicians to avoid damaging the nails, with proper care, it can last about 3 to 4 weeks. Whether choosing Soft Gel or Hard Gel, gel nails provide both beauty and protection for the nails.
