What is Japanese Gel Nail

Japanese Gel Nail is a professional gel manicure system originating from Japan that uses soft-gel products formulated for nail health and longevity. Unlike standard gel polishes, Japanese gel is highly pigmented, in vibrant colours, strong adhesion, and a natural, lightweight finish. It promotes nail strength, resists chipping, while being easier to remove and less damaging than traditional gels or acrylics.

The Gel Nail products we use are premium quality, made in Japan, safe, odorless, and free from formaldehyde. We offer an extensive palette with over 1000 colors available to suit every style and preference.

Japanese gel nail brands are known for their meticulous craftsmanship and use of gentle, high-quality ingredients that promote nail health without compromising on durability or beauty. This combination makes them a superior choice for long-lasting and vibrant manicures.
