Can you use apres extend gel as an overlay?

As any professional manicurist knows, there are a wide variety of products available for creating beautiful and long-lasting nails. One such product is apres extend gel, which can be used as an overlay or as a stand-alone product. When used as an overlay, apres extend gel helps to protect the natural nail from damage and provides a smooth, glossy surface that lasts for weeks. In addition, it can be used to extend the life of a manicure by protecting the nails from chipping and peeling. However, when used as a stand-alone product, apres extend gel provides a durable, high-gloss finish that will resist chipping and peeling for up to two weeks. So, whether you're looking for a long-lasting manicure or simply want to protect your natural nails, apres extend gel is a great option.

Can you do a refill on apres nails?

Getting your nails done is always a treat, but it can be a bit of a hassle to have to keep up with the upkeep. Fortunately, they will last 6-8 weeks, no fills are needed and we provide you with a safe gel soak off and fresh new set. This can save you both time and money, and it's a great way to keep your nails looking their best.

How are gel extensions removed?

Gel nail extensions are a popular way to achieve long, sleek nails. However, they require regular upkeep and can be difficult to remove without damaging your natural nails. If you're considering gel extensions, it's important to know how they're removed. The process starts with removing the gel polish from the extension with a e-file, and wrapping the extension in a acetone soaked cotton ball with foil. We place your hands in warm mittens which activates the acetone with heat and make the soak off process faster. Once soaked in the warm mits for 16 minutes we will remove the remaining extension with a cuticle pusher. We remove the top layer of the gel polish, massage your hands with oil, wrap your nails in foil and acetone and insert your hands into plastic gloves and hand warmers! The oil helps to keep the hands and cuticles soft without damaging your nails, while the acetone works its magic at removing your old polish! If any residue remains, it can be removed with a nail file or an orangewood stick dipped in acetone.

Acrylic fill is a popular choice for those who want to extend the length and/or thickness of their natural nails, but it can also be used to repair damaged nails or to create unique designs.

Gel Nails for Every Occasion

Gel Strengthening Overlay

Perfect for weak, damaged nails, or if you are trying to grow your nails out in a matter of 6 weeks. In this signature gel manicure, we remove any previous work of ours, perfect your cuticles, put an unnoticeable layer of natural non-damaging gel over your nails, polish with a gel color of your choice, and finish with a design of your choice. The difference between a gel overlay and gel extensions is simple: gel overlay keeps the length of your own nails, but strengthens them with a layer of natural gel (thus making them un-breakable), and gel extensions add length if you want them to be longer. Please note that DESIGNS & NAIL ART cost extra and take an extra 15-30 minutes. We can replicate almost any design that you bring in! We also have a 10 day free fix policy for this service.
