Gel manicures are arguably one of the most exciting beauty innovations of the year – a manicure that lasts for 2 solid weeks without chipping and doesn’t require any dry time seems downright miraculous. The technology is even popping up in do-it-yourself versions – at-home gel mani kits are one of the reasons the nail care sector is having double digit growth. Gel nails may look more natural and glossy than other types of cosmetic nails. The curing time is faster than acrylics and gel nail mixtures lack the fumes associated with acrylic nails – they are considered a safer, more eco-friendly option.
