How Do Nail Salons Fill Gel Nails?

Mastering the Art of Gel Nail Application: Discover the Secrets of Nail Salons

As a professional nail artist and beauty expert, I understand the intricate techniques involved in creating stunning gel manicures. Gel nails have become a popular choice for those seeking long-lasting, chip-resistant nail enhancement. However, many individuals are curious about the process nail salons use to fill gel nails. In this blog post, we'll dive deep into the art of gel nail application and explore how Daring Lily's exceptional press-on nails can provide a salon-quality solution.

Unraveling the Secrets of Gel Nail Filling

Nail salons typically follow a multi-step process to fill gel nails. First, they begin by removing any existing gel polish or nail enhancement, ensuring a clean, smooth canvas. Then, they prepare the natural nail by lightly buffing the surface to create a rough texture, which helps the new gel adhere effectively.

Next, the nail technician applies a thin layer of gel primer to the nail bed. This primer acts as a bonding agent, enhancing the adhesion of the gel polish. Once the primer is set, the technician carefully applies the gel polish, building up layers and curing each one under a UV or LED light to harden the material.

The final step in the gel nail filling process involves filing and shaping the nails to achieve the desired length and curvature. This meticulous attention to detail ensures a seamless, professional-looking finish.
