Gel Nails FAQs
Gel nails cost between ZAR 60 and ZAR 440 in Observatory.
Once you’ve had gel nails applied, they should remain chip-free for between 2-3 weeks.
Although gel manicures look beautiful, they can cause your natural nails to become brittle. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that repeated use of gel nails can increase the risk of skin cancer and the premature ageing of skin on the hands.
Gel and shellac nails both cure under UV light, but their composition is different. Gel nail polish is a lacquer made from acrylic monomers and oligomers; shellac polish is part gel, part regular nail polish, and is a patented brand by Creative Nail Design (CND). Both give a high shine and long-lasting finish.
Gel nails tend to give a more natural and glossier finish than acrylic nails; they are cured under a UV lamp and last for around 2 weeks. Acrylic nails are stronger than gels and start to cure as soon as they’re exposed to air; they generally last for 6-8 weeks but will need fills after 2 weeks to hide regrowth. Both can be used to lengthen nails and both can damage your natural nails.
Once every 2 weeks. Gel nails cure (harden) in UV light; this means they continue to cure in natural sunlight. The longer you keep your polish on, the longer it cures and the harder it is to remove. To reduce the risk of stripping and damaging your nails, it’s recommended that you book in with an experienced nail technician to remove and redo your gel nail polish every 2 weeks.

Try gel nails if you want super shiny nails that last longer than a couple of days. Sometimes called a two-week manicure, gel is tougher than regular polish and is set using UV or LED light to bond the gel to your nail.
Gel colour is intensely pigmented with colours that really catch the eye. The setting process means drying is fast, allowing for the build of different colours and special effects to make your nails extra special. And the good news is that gel nails are easy to remove at home or in the salon, so switching up your style is no problem. Search the Fresha app for gel nails or Shellac nails near you.
