Looking for Gel Nails In Sligo? What gel nails are suitable for me?
Here you’ll find explanations of the different types of gel nails available and why they are different..Gel Nails have been around for many years, I trained as a nail technician 18 years ago and have a lot of experience and have solutions for all your nail problems, make an appointment with me in my salon in carney, co sligo to find out more. Heres a little bit of background knowledge.
Gel nails have gotten bad press in past due to badly trained technicians doing damage to clients nails or clients themselves ripping nail enhancements off their nails without returning to salon get them removed or filing them off safely. If you are looking for immediate results without waiting for your nails to
grow then gel nails are the answer-many salons in sligo do them. They will last 2-3 weeks before they need re-filling. Nowadays there are numerous gel products and gel based products on the market. In our menus we use the term “Gel” to explain that in this treatment gel is applied over the Natural Nail ONLY. No tips are applied. These products are not as hard as gel nails they are more flexible. They last 2-3 weeks. They are brilliant because you can soak them off in 15 minutes at home with the remover kits or get them removed in salon. We no longer do extensions or acrylic nails.
At Polished we specialise in nails and we do 2 Gel Types as well as polish manicures and pedicures:
Shellac/Halo 2 Week Polish
Are you tired of nail polish that chips the day after its done? Then you’ll love this product. It is a mixture of gel and polish in a bottle. That is why it looks like varnish but performs like gel. It goes on like a polish on natural nails, cures under a UV lamp between coats, lasts like a gel, does not lift or soften, can be soaked off in 15 minutes-and lasts up to 2 weeks!

We recommend this product for busy professionals, hard working mums and those that want their nails looking good year around or brides as nails last maintenance free for 3-4 weeks. It can be worn for months on end without damage to the natural nail as one component is a nail treatment that strengthens and promotes the growth of natural nails.

The MOST FAQ on GEL Nails! Q: Iv heard Gel nails ruin your natural nails!
A: They only damage your nails if you apply force to pull the tips/gel nails off (when they have grown out) instead of filing them off carefully! or getting them taken off by a technician. A badly trained technician can also ruin your nails so be careful who you choose! We have the most fabulous nail tech working with us. Today’s nail enhancements are light, safe and protective. They protect your nail from everyday eventualities. Gel nails grow out with the natural nail and require refilling every 2-4 weeks. However nails need oxygen and sunlight to prevent softening and yellowing. If gel nails are left on for months on-end nails will seem weaker because they are softer..so my advice is remove gel nails from nails from time to time.
