Gel manicures are a popular nail treatment that can be done at home or in a salon. They are long-lasting and come in a variety of colors and finishes. There are several types of gels that can be pigmented, including soak-off gel, no-wipe gel, and builder gel.
Soak-off Gel
Soak-off gel is a type of gel polish that is cured with a UV or LED lamp. It is thinner than other types of gels and can be used with nail art designs or as a base or top coat. It is easy to remove and requires no filing, so it is great for people who don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to their nails.No-Wipe Gel
No-wipe gel is a type of gel that is cured with a UV or LED lamp. It is thicker than other types of gels and is great for 3D nail art and nail tips. It is also very durable and can last up to two weeks without any chipping. It is important to note that no-wipe gel is not easy to remove and requires filing to remove.Builder Gel
Builder gel is a type of gel that is used to extend the length of the nails. It is applied in thin layers and cured with a UV or LED lamp. It is very durable and can last up to two weeks without any chipping. It is important to note that builder gel is not easy to remove and requires filing to remove.Comparison
