Having a gel manicure is all in the details! Six Tips for keeping your nails healthy with gel manis

Nail polish used to be the go-to for nails—trust me, I’ve been there—but now it’s all about the gel, especially this year with Winter calling. My total obsession started with the recent hype for the gel FX Berliner, a hand dryer I use to dry my nails during Winter and rain. But since gel manicures are becoming more popular, so is the GelFX range. Basically, it’s Nails Inc’s new product that’s a hand dryer, hair brush, gel, and reno brush in one. I’ve tried them out and have been impressed.

If you’re trying to get the glamorous weekend look, maybe now is a good time to “slice,” but since gel manicures are expensive, you’ll need to prep your nails and legs for treatment first. Since I only recently got gel manicures, the attention has been my manicure and makeup products have been the main focus, so I haven’t tried the coatings yet. But the salon described the price (currently $38) to me as a great deal, since the gel lasts for about three weeks and fewer peels and nail stamps than a regular gel manicure. Another thing to consider is the job of polish remover. As anyone can tell you, applying it can sometimes be a pain. Gel nails come with a soak in the product, but it also makes sense that less polish remover, even with washing, would be a good thing.

In the end, it is about making sure your nails get the best look. Nails Inc created the gel to keep the nail dry all day long and prevent calluses while making your nails look bigger. Those two qualities let you master the look of polished nails without a salon or getting filled in. But more importantly, clean your hands and feet after each use, so you’ll look as good as your nails.
