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.

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!

What does gel polish do to nails?

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.

What is the difference between gel polish, natural nail overlay with gel and gel nails?

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.

How long does gel polish last?

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.

How gel polish is removed?

If you want to get rid of your gel polish, it would be good to have it safely removed by a professional. The removal of the gel polish done in Blue Lagoon is done by dissolving, and an electric file is used for gel polish maintenance. The gel polish should never be torn off. If you have gel polish done elsewhere, you must first make 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 service gel polishes made elsewhere.

Why doesn't the gel polish last?

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.

What is the age limit for gel polish?

The age limit for gel polish is 16 years.

Can gel polish be done to short nails?

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.
