Find the best gel polish for you

  • Briefly about gel polish

    Gel polishes have become a popular service that allows you to keep your nails beautiful effortlessly. In gel polish, the surface of the nails is first treated lightly with a file, thanks to which the CrystaLac gel polish adheres to the natural nail very strongly, while still being gentle on the nail. Our professionals take care of the well-being of your natural nails, we never “roughen” or thin the nail, we only remove the shine on the surface of the nail. In addition, during the treatment, the nails are shaped and the cuticles are treated. Gel polishes are LED-hardened polishes that give natural nails a beautifully smooth and gel-like surface that lasts for several weeks. The typical maintenance interval for gel polish is 3-4 weeks, slightly depending on the growth of the nails and the lifestyle of the customer.

    One coloured gel polish

    One coloured gel polishes are a classic and safe choice! Monochromatic polish also works easily with different outfits and styles. The most popular shades in monochromatic gel polishes are nude and red. In the spring and summer seasons, pastel shades and bold and bright colors are often preferred for nails. In autumn and winter, darker shades are seen on the nails than in other seasons. In our salons, you can find a wide selection of different shades, from which you can choose the shade that best suits your style! The shade of the gel polish can also be changed with each nail appointment.

     

  • French or gradient baby boomer gel polish

    French polish is a super stylish choice for nails and a timeless classic! Typically, in French nail style, the tip is made with white polish, but colorful variations are also possible. The modern version of the French polish is the gradient babyboomer style. Baby boomer has become a very popular style in nails, and typically baby boomer is done with white and nude shades, but baby boomer can also be made in a colored version. French and baby boomer gel polish are popular styles, especially for weddings and other parties.

Information about gel polish

The differences between permanent nail polish and CrystaLac gel polish

Permanent nail polish looks very similar to traditional nail polish, but the hardening is done under UV light, which makes the nail polish to last longer than regular nail polish. The thickness of CrystaLac gel polish is between permanent nail polish and natural nail overlay. Gel polish already gives a little support and durability to the nail. It can also be used to correct small unevenness of the nail. The polish is still very light and natural-looking. Gel polish is suitable for normal and weaker and thinner nails. It is also perfectly suited to a more active lifestyle.

Gel polish shades & nail decorations

In our salons you can find a wide selection of CrystaLac gel polishes. The range of shades includes the so-called basic selection, salons’ own shades and seasonal colors. Please note that not all lacquer shades visible in e.g. social media photos are always available at all locations, as there may be differences in salon-specific shade selections. Our CrystaLac selection also includes decorative all-inclusive service, which includes the decorations you want. However, we kindly ask you to note that our manicurists are individuals with their own strengths, and there may be differences in decorating skills. If you are looking for a specific style of decoration or a more demanding nail design, we recommend that you check out the work samples of our manicurists on our team page, so that you can find the most suitable nail  professional for you.

Nails chip & split

Dry nails, for example due to the weather or hormonal reasons, can cause nails to dry out and split. Constant washing and disinfecting of hands can also dry hands and nails, which is why it would be good to use hand cream. The best friend for dry nails is cuticle oil, which you should remember to use regularly. Light protection and support can be obtained with gel polish for slightly chipped and cracked nails. Sometimes gel polish can provide the necessary little protection to the nails, which also allows natural nails to get stronger and grow. If the nails are cracking or chipping heavily, or if the problem has lasted for a long time, the natural nail overlay service would probably be a better option than gel polish. Our nail professional will gladly advise you on the most suitable solution for your nails!

Gel polish removal

Gel polish is typically the easiest to remove using an electric file. Some gel polishes can also be removed by dissolving, which makes the removal a little slower. If you want to get rid of your gel polish, it would be good to remove it properly by filing or dissolving. Typically, the final gel polish removal is done by dissolving, and in gel polish maintenance treatments the file is used. The gel polish should never be torn off. If you have gel polish done elsewhere, you must first book an appointment to remove the gel polish, and then you can book an appointment for a new gel polish at Blue Lagoon. Unfortunately, we do not do refills for gel polishes done elsewhere.

FAQ

Permanent Shellac polish looks very similar to traditional nail polish, but the hardening is done under UV light. In this way, the Shellac polish lasts longer than traditional nail polish. Gel polish already gives a little support and durability to the nail. It can also be used to correct small unevenness of the nail. Gel polish is still very light and natural-looking.

Long-lasting Shellac polish is best suited for normal nails that are not particularly worn or strained in everyday life. Gel polish is suitable for normal and weaker and thinner nails. It is also perfectly suited to a more active lifestyle.

 

In gel polish treatment the surface of the nails is first treated lightly with a file, thanks to which the gel polish adheres to the natural nail very strongly, while still being gentle on the nail. Gel polishes are UV-hardened polishes that give natural nails a beautifully smooth and gel-like surface.

Gel polish is durable UV-hardened nail polish. In natural nail overlay the nails are strengthened with a slightly thicker gel layer than in gel polish treatment. Gel nails, on the other hand, are structure nails in which, in addition to strengthening, the nails are given additional length with the help of gel mass.

The typical maintenance interval for gel polish is 3-4 weeks, slightly depending on the growth of the nails and the stress on the nails.

Gel polish is typically the easiest to remove using an electric file. Some gel polishes can also be removed by dissolving, which makes the removal a little slower. If you want to get rid of your gel polish, it would be good to remove it properly by filing or dissolving it. Typically, gel polish removal is done by dissolving, and gel polish maintenance uses a file. The gel polish should never be torn off.

In order for the gel polish to last as well as possible, the following points should be taken into account when caring for the gel polish at home:

  • Don’t use your fingernails as tools. This prevents nail wear, durability problems and nail breakage.
  • Do not tap, twist, pluck, bite, tear or otherwise stress your nail or the skin around it.
  • Press the buttons etc. carefully and use, for example, your knuckles or another aid such as a pen.
  • Always wear protective gloves when cleaning, when dealing with strong chemicals such as cleaning chemicals, doing dishes, gardening, etc.
  • Be careful when lifting boxes, digging things out of e.g. a bag, opening car doors, using zippers/seat belts/child seats, etc. This prevents possible stability problems and broken nails.

The age limit for gel polish is 16 years.

Gel polish for short nails can be done in one color or as a decorative all-inclusive polish. Classic French polish or gradient baby boomer may be impossible to implement if the nail bed is very small, but once the nails grow, these styles are also possible.
