Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Gel Manicure.
A Gel Manicure typically lasts two to three weeks depending on nail growth and daily activities. Proper prep, correct application, and a quality top coat extend wear. Schedule fills every 2–3 weeks to maintain flawless color and shape.
Gel manicures are safe when applied and removed professionally. If nails are extremely thin or damaged, technicians will recommend strengthening treatments or a temporary break. We assess nail health before service to ensure safety and long-term nail integrity.
After your Gel Manicure, moisturize cuticles daily and avoid harsh chemicals. Use gloves for chores and apply a revitalizing oil to maintain flexibility. Avoid picking or peeling polish—book a salon refill if lifting occurs to prevent damage.
Yes—Gel polish can be combined with certain nail extensions like sculpted gel tips or overlays. Discuss your desired length and style with your technician so they can tailor application and ensure a secure, lasting finish.
At Artim Studio we remove gels using a gentle professional soak-off process: we file the surface, apply acetone-soaked wraps, then carefully lift residue. Never peel or pick—professional removal prevents unnecessary damage and maintains natural nail health.
When performed correctly, Gel Manicures do not permanently damage nails. Damage usually arises from improper removal or excessive filing. We follow safe application and removal protocols and offer nourishing treatments to strengthen nails between services.
