Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about French Gel .
A properly applied French Gel manicure typically lasts two to three weeks without noticeable chipping. Longevity depends on nail growth, daily activities, and aftercare—use gloves for chores and avoid harsh solvents to extend wear.
Yes—French Gel can be applied over natural nails as well as on gel or acrylic extensions. Your technician will prep the nail, select the right neutral base, and shape the white tip to ensure a seamless, durable finish compatible with your nail type.
Keep cuticles moisturized, avoid prolonged exposure to water, and wear gloves for cleaning. Use non-acetone polish remover if needed. Schedule regular fills every two to three weeks and book prompt touch-ups for lifted tips to prevent lifting or breakage.
When applied and removed professionally, French Gel should not damage natural nails. Proper nail prep, safe filing, and gentle gel removal minimize harm. Give nails breathing time between services if you notice thinning or sensitivity, and consult your technician for restorative treatments.
Absolutely. French Gel is highly customizable—choose narrower or wider tip widths, softer or brighter whites, and a range of neutral base shades. Discuss your preferred look with your technician and we’ll tailor the proportions to flatter your nail shape and skin tone.
We prep nails, apply a neutral gel base, then carefully paint the white tips with gel polish. Each layer is cured under an LED lamp for 30–60 seconds to harden. A final top coat adds shine and protection for a long-lasting, chip-resistant finish.
