In this guide, we’ll walk you through the entire process so you know exactly what to expect when you visit us. Whether you’re a gel polish pro or trying it for the first time, we promise nails that are healthy, long-lasting, and absolutely gorgeous.
What Is a Gel Manicure?
A gel manicure is a long-wearing nail treatment that combines a gentle E-file manicure, gel polish application, and hand care. Unlike regular nail polish, gel is cured under an LED/UV lamp, making it chip-resistant and ultra-durable—lasting up to 4 weeks of flawless wear!
Our Gel Manicure Includes:
✔️ Removal of old gel polish
✔️ E-file manicure (cuticle and nail prep)
✔️ Gel polish application with Luxio
✔️ Hand care with Gehwol products
✔️ Simple nail art on up to 4 nails (upon request)
Let’s break down each step in detail!
Step 1: Safe Removal of Old Gel Polish
Before we apply fresh gel, we make sure to safely remove any previous polish without damaging your natural nails.
- Instead of soaking in harsh acetone, which can dry out your nails and skin, we use a gentle E-file technique to remove the old gel.
- We lightly buff away the remaining polish, leaving your natural nails clean and ready for the next step.
💡 Why is this better?
Using an E-file is a faster and safer way to remove gel polish without exposing your nails to excess acetone, keeping them strong and healthy.
Step 2: E-File Manicure – The Key to a Perfect Base
A flawless gel manicure starts with a perfectly prepped nail bed!
- Nail Shaping: We trim and shape your nails into your desired style—oval, almond, square, or anything in between!
- Cuticle Care: Using professional Staleks tools, we carefully remove excess cuticle, making sure your polish sits smoothly and lasts longer.
- Buffing & Prepping: We gently buff the nail surface to remove oils and improve gel adhesion.
💡 Why Staleks?
Staleks tools are high-quality, precise, and safe, ensuring a clean, polished look without damaging your natural nails.
Step 3: Applying Luxio Gel Polish – The Secret to Long-Lasting Nails
Now it’s time for color! We use Luxio gel polish, a premium brand known for rich pigments, smooth application, and long wear.
- Base Coat: A thin layer of Luxio Base is applied to strengthen your nails and ensure long-lasting adhesion.
- Color Application: Choose from Luxio’s stunning range of colors—from classic nudes to bold statement shades. Each coat is cured under an LED/UV lamp for a durable finish.
- Top Coat: Finally, a Luxio Top Coat is applied to seal in the color, add shine, and protect against chips.
💡 Why Luxio?
Luxio is a 100% pure gel polish that doesn’t damage the natural nail. It’s vegan, toxin-free, and long-wearing, so your nails look salon-fresh for weeks!
Step 4: Hand Care with Gehwol – Hydration & Protection
A great manicure isn’t just about your nails—it’s also about taking care of your hands and skin.
- Moisturizing Lotion: We apply Gehwol hand cream to hydrate your skin and prevent dryness.
- Cuticle Oil: A nourishing cuticle oil keeps your nail beds soft and healthy.
- Nail Strengthening Serum: If needed, we apply a Gehwol serum to keep your nails strong and flexible.
💡 Why Gehwol?
Gehwol is a luxury skincare brand, known for deep hydration, protection, and nourishment. Their products are dermatologist-tested and perfect for sensitive skin.
Step 5: Optional Nail Art – Add a Personal Touch!

Step 6: Final Curing – And You’re Ready to Shine!
