All Frequently Asked Questions

The difference is NOT that the gel is thicker. The thickness of the modeling does not depend on the material, but solely on the work of the professional. It is possible to make thick nails with Shellac, as well as thin ones with gel.
Here are the main distinguishing criteria

1.Shellac(UV varnish) is usually removed by peeling with Rwmouver, while gel is mainly removed by filing.

2.Gel is always harder than Shellac, so it is suitable for strengthening nails of any length, whereas Shellac is ideally best suited only to short nails or those that extend slightly beyond the fingertip.

3. You have to work a little differently with gel than with gel polish because it is harder. With gel polish you can simply paint and build up the nails without doing anything extra, but when working with gel you should ideally apply the gel to the nail and file the nail from the inside, as some gels can otherwise flake off the natural nail. The "The Color to build" is suitable for those who do not want to do this or do not know how, as it allows you to work on many nails without filing. However, the gel is hard.
