All busy working ladies and busy mommies at home want to look fabulous when they are out with their colleagues and friends. Working women want to look good when attending meetings, making deals, and working to meet their personal goals. Mommies at home feel better about themselves when they look and feel beautiful also.

Both working women and mommies can get that good feeling about how they look by having good looking nails. More and more women and mommies today are getting positive results with UV gel nails.

This is one of the hottest trends in nails and you do not have to worry about your nails because gel polish lasts for about 2 to 3 weeks. That’s perfect for busy woman and mommies!

So let’s take a look and gain a better understanding about UV Nail Gels and find out why the UV gel nails are getting more and more popular.

While it does not chip as quickly as regular polish, it will not last “forever”. You normally get about 2-3 weeks, depending on the color. The darker colors need to be changed more frequently because of during cuticle growth the gap will show the uncolored cuticle. Light colors are less noticeable as the cuticles grow out. The gel polish will also make your nails harder while it is on, as it is technically a very thin nail enhancement.

So what is it:

Gel is normally used to enhance the nails. It is a gooey jelly like material that has to be brushed on the nail. It remains jelly-like until you put your hand into a UV Lamp to cure the gel into a hard shell. The Gel from a gel nail kit can be brushed over a tip, with a form, or directly to the natural nail. The gel polish is applied in a thin colored layer. There are a number of different colors from a clear see through gel to dark colors.

Gel polish is gentle on the natural nail and should not damage your nails as long as you take care of the gel and it was applied correctly. Gel Polish is a great option, especially for women and mommies that are hard on their nails.

To Prevent Gel Polish Damage:

  • Do not tear or pick the gel shell off. Remember it is not a polish. The cured gel is chemically bonded to the nail. So if you try to pick it off, it could remove a layer of your natural nail.
  • When it is time to remove the gel make sure you use a Gel Polish removal solution. Do not use an electric file to remove it. You can use acetone instead or gel polish soak off solution.

Now that you know some of the basics, you can decide whether Gel Polish is for you!
