Gel Nail Extension
Is a process of building up a hard gel on your own natural nail and it sets with UV light. It uses a nail former which is basically a sticker that attaches under the tip of the nail, to extend the length of the nails.
Gel extention is softer and more flexible than acrylic, therefore it is less damaging to your nails. At the same time it promotes your own nails to grow. This can be especially helpful if you have a history of nail biting.
