Gel Manicure

A gel manicure is a long-lasting nail treatment that uses a specialized, light-reactive gel polish that must be hardened under a UV or LED lamp. Unlike traditional nail polish that dries slowly in the air, gel polish undergoes a process called polymerization under the light. This instantly freezes and seals the formula into a durable, chip-resistant coating. It provides a flawless, mirror-like gloss that lasts for weeks without smudging. Comes with shape of your choice, polishedbycass signature manicure, and one gel polish color of your choice finishing off the appointment with one (1) session of LED Red Light Hand Therapy and homemade cuticle oil scent of your choice massaged into your nails. Ideal Clients: Healthy Natural Nails: People with stable, moderately strong nail plates that do not excessively bend or peel, allowing the gel polish to adhere properly without premature lifting. Low Water Exposure: Individuals with dry-hand lifestyles (desk workers, retail professionals, or corporate workers) rather than those with hands submerged in water all day like dog groomers or hair stylists. Maintenance Committed: Clients who return every 2 to 3 weeks for proper upkeep or professional removal, protecting their natural nail beds from damage. Desire for Longevity: Busy individuals who want a dry-instantly, high-shine manicure that withstands daily typing and routine tasks without chipping like regular polish.
