Gel Nails
Gel nails represent one of the most appreciated standards in the world of professional and home nail art today. They offer a shiny, durable, and long-lasting finish that traditional nail polish struggles to match. With over 1,100 selected references, the Qathu collection gathers everything needed to build, decorate, and maintain a flawless manicure: from builder gels to bases, from top coats to application and removal tools.
How to choose the most suitable gel nail products for your needs
The first criterion for selection concerns the level of experience and the aesthetic goal. Beginners should opt for complete kits that include a UV/LED lamp, base gel, color, and top coat, ensuring that all components are compatible with each other. Professionals or advanced enthusiasts can instead build their own routine by selecting individual products based on viscosity, coverage, and specific curing times. A common mistake is neglecting the preparation of the natural nail: without proper cleansing and primer, even the best gel tends to lift within a few days.
A second factor is the distinction between soft gel (soak-off) and hard builder gel. The former is removed by soaking and is suitable for light colors and overlays; the latter requires filing for removal but offers greater mechanical strength, ideal for extensions and structured rebuilds. Also consider the type of lamp you have: not all gels cure properly with any light source, so always check the instructions on the packaging before purchasing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between soak-off gel and builder gel?
Soak-off gel is removed by soaking the nails in acetone for about 10-15 minutes and is ideal for light colors and strengthening. Builder gel, which is denser and more durable, is filed off and is designed for extensions and structured rebuilds that require greater solidity.
Is a specific lamp needed for colored gels?
Yes. Each gel cures optimally with a specific wavelength. LED lamps are faster and last longer, while UV lamps have a broader spectrum. Always check the compatibility indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging before purchasing.
How often should gel manicures be redone?
On average, every two to three weeks, depending on the growth of the natural nail and lifestyle. Waiting too long increases the risk of lifting and damage to the nail plate; intervening too soon can weaken the nail with closely spaced repeated applications.
