Semi-Permanent vs Gel Nails: Complete Guide to Nail Treatments

When it comes to nail treatments, you have two main options: gel nails e semipermanent. Both offer long-lasting results, but differ significantly in methods and benefits.

Let's discover together the differences and advantages of each treatment.

Semi-Permanent: The Future of Classic Nail Polish

The treatment semipermanent represents a modern evolution of traditional enamel. Unlike the gel nails, semi-permanent does not involve nail lengthening, but simply the application of a gel polish which replaces traditional nail polish.

Il gel polish It is a “color” that dries under a LED or UV lamp, offering superior durability and long-lasting shine. There are two main techniques for applying semi-permanent:

In the classical technique, the gel polish It is applied like a normal nail polish, with the following steps:

  1. Preparation of the natural lamina
  2. Apply a thin base coat to ensure the adhesion of the Gel Polish
  3. Gel Polish Application
  4. Top Coat Application

This technique involves a slight curvature, known as “dorsal”, to correct the flat effect typical of traditional enamel:

  1. Preparation of the natural lamina
  2. Application of a first base layer, called “slide”
  3. Creation of the backbone, a slight curvature
  4. Gel Polish Application
  5. Sealing with Top Coat
