Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Shellac/Gel Manicure .
A Shellac/Gel Manicure typically lasts two to three weeks on natural nails, depending on growth and daily wear. Proper aftercare—gloves for chores, cuticle oil, and avoiding harsh chemicals—helps extend longevity and keep polish chip-free.
When applied and removed professionally, a Shellac/Gel Manicure should not permanently damage nails. Overuse of gels or improper removal can weaken nails. We recommend professional removal, regular breaks between sets, and nourishing treatments to maintain nail health.
After your Shellac/Gel Manicure, keep nails dry for a few hours, apply cuticle oil daily, and wear gloves for cleaning. Avoid picking at edges; schedule touch-ups if lifting occurs to prevent chipping and maintain the gel’s shine.
While home removal is possible with acetone soaks and careful filing, we strongly recommend professional removal to avoid over-filing or nail thinning. Our technicians safely remove gel and restore nail health with proper techniques and treatments.
Yes—our Shellac/Gel Manicure offers an extensive color palette, glosses, and finishes including creams, shimmers, and metallics. We also provide nail art, French tips, and embellishments as add-ons to personalize your chip-free manicure.
Curing time varies by lamp and product. Under our LED lamp, each gel layer typically cures in 30 to 60 seconds. A full Shellac/Gel Manicure with base, two color coats, and top coat usually cures completely in three to five minutes.
