Gel polish manicure in Helsinki
A gel polish manicure is the fastest way to neat, glossy nails that survive everyday life. At Mabs Nails the colour goes on over careful preparation, so the finish stays even and chip-resistant for up to three weeks.
What the treatment includes
Nails are shaped, cuticles cared for and the surface prepared before colour. Each layer is cured under a UV/LED lamp, so you leave with a finish that is dry and glossy straight away.
A new gel polish application does not include removing an existing set. If you already have gel on, choose gel polish maintenance — safe removal is included before the new colour.
Who it suits
Gel polish works on your natural nails when you want a clean result without extensions. It's a popular choice for work, weddings, travel and events — your nails look good the whole time with no touch-ups.
If your natural nails are thin or break easily, builder gel adds support and makes the result last longer.
Aftercare
Use cuticle oil daily and wear gloves for cleaning. Avoid using your nails as tools — that's the most common reason gel lifts at the edges.
Have the polish removed professionally. Picking it off thins the natural nail and takes months to grow out.
