Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Gel Polish Hands (w/o Mani).

Gel polish on hands typically lasts 10–21 days, depending on nail growth and daily activities. Proper prep and aftercare extend wear. We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals and using gloves for chores to preserve the flawless, durable finish between visits.

For Gel Polish Hands (w/o Mani) we perform light shaping and gentle cuticle tidying only to ensure proper polish adhesion. We won’t do a full manicure unless you book one. Request additional cuticle or buffing services when scheduling if desired.

Please arrive with clean, polish-free nails; remove any existing polish before your appointment. Avoid heavy oils, lotions, or nail treatments right before service to ensure adhesion. If you have nail enhancements, inform us so we can adjust the application accordingly.

We strongly recommend professional removal to protect natural nails. Our salon uses safe soak or gentle filing techniques to remove gel without damage. At-home removal can be risky; if you choose it, follow proper soaking and care guidelines to avoid weakening nails.

Gel polish can be safe for weak or thin nails when applied by professionals with a protective base coat. If your nails are severely damaged, we may recommend treatment or a short break. Book a consultation so we can assess nail health first.

The service usually takes 20–30 minutes for hands only, depending on nail length and condition. Extra time may be needed for nail prep or polish corrections. We’ll give an accurate estimate at booking so you can plan your visit efficiently.
