FAQs

How long do Gelish nails last?

Gelish nails last up to 3 weeks with proper application and maintenance. To help your clients’ gel nails last longer, thorough prep of the natural nail is essential. Ensure your clients regularly apply cuticle oil to help keep the nails healthy and hydrated and prevent them from lifting and peeling.

How do you remove Gelish soak off gel polish?

Gelish Soak Off Gel Polish features soak-off technology, ensuring quick and easy removal. For best results, buff off the top coat with a manual or electric nail file, soak a lint free nail wipe in Gelish Artificial Nail Remover and wrap it around the nail using a nail foil wrap. Leave for up to 10-15 minutes and remove the gel wrap. We recommend that Gelish gel polish is removed by a professional nail technician to prevent damage to the nails.
