Get answers to common questions about Gel Polish Upgrade.

The Gel Polish Upgrade replaces standard lacquer with a gel formula cured under LED/UV light. It provides a tougher, glossier, longer-lasting finish that resists chips and wear far better than regular polish, keeping nails vibrant for weeks.

With proper application and care, gel polish typically lasts two to three weeks on fingernails before showing significant wear. Toenails often last longer. Avoid harsh chemicals and use cuticle oil to extend its life.

Yes — our Gel Polish Upgrade is an add-on many clients choose during their standard manicure. Please inform your technician when booking or upon arrival to ensure sufficient time and the correct curing lamp is available.

When applied and removed professionally, gel polish is safe for most natural nails. Overuse or improper removal can cause thinning; we recommend breaks between applications and professional removal to maintain nail health.

We remove gel polish using a gentle soak-off technique with acetone and protective wraps, followed by careful buffing and conditioning. Never peel or pick; professional removal minimizes damage and preserves nail strength and integrity.

Although uncommon, some clients may develop sensitivity to gel ingredients. We recommend a patch test for first-time users or anyone with history of reactions. Inform your technician of allergies so we can select hypoallergenic options or alternatives.
