1. What is the difference between a regular manicure and a gel manicure?

A regular manicure uses traditional nail polish that dries naturally, while a gel manicure uses a special polish cured under a UV or LED light. Gel manicures typically last longer without chipping compared to regular polish.


2. How often should I get a manicure?

It's generally recommended to get a manicure every 1-2 weeks to keep your nails looking their best and maintain healthy cuticles.


3. What is a pedicure, and why should I get one?

A pedicure is a beauty treatment for your feet and toenails, including cleaning, trimming, and polishing. It helps maintain foot health and appearance, leaving you with soft and attractive feet.


4. How can I make my manicure last longer?

To extend the life of your manicure, avoid using your nails as tools, wear gloves while doing housework, and apply a top coat every few days.


5. What are acrylic nails?

Acrylic nails are artificial nails created by mixing a liquid (monomer) and a powder (polymer) to form a hard protective layer over your natural nails. They can be shaped and painted to your liking.


6. Are gel nails better than acrylic nails?

Gel nails are more flexible and natural-looking, while acrylic nails are more durable. The choice depends on personal preference and lifestyle.


7. How do I remove gel nail polish at home?

Soak a cotton ball in acetone, place it on your nail, wrap your finger in aluminum foil, wait 10-15 minutes, and then gently push off the polish with a cuticle stick.


8. What is nail art, and what types are available?

Nail art is the creative decoration of nails, including designs like glitter, gemstones, stamps, and hand-painted images. It’s a fun way to express your personality and style.


9. Is it safe to get nail extensions?

Yes, when done by a professional using high-quality products, nail extensions are safe. It's important to follow proper aftercare to avoid damage to your natural nails.


10. How do I take care of my cuticles?

Keep your cuticles moisturized, avoid cutting them, and gently push them back with a cuticle stick after a shower or bath.


11. Can I get a manicure or pedicure if I have a nail infection?

No, it's best to wait until the infection has cleared up to avoid spreading it and to ensure proper healing. Consult a healthcare professional if you suspect an infection.


12. What are SNS nails?

SNS (Signature Nail Systems) nails involve dipping the nails into a powder that bonds with a special adhesive, offering a lightweight and durable alternative to gel or acrylic.


13. How can I strengthen my natural nails?

Keep your nails trimmed, avoid harsh chemicals, use a strengthening base coat, and maintain a healthy diet rich in biotin and other nutrients.


14. What is the best way to remove acrylic nails?

Soak your nails in acetone, use a cuticle pusher to gently lift the acrylic, and avoid forcibly pulling them off to prevent damage to your natural nails.


15. How do I fix a broken nail?

Use a nail glue or a nail repair kit, apply a small piece of a tea bag over the break with glue, and buff and polish as needed.


16. Are there any risks associated with frequent use of UV/LED lights for gel nails?

Prolonged exposure to UV light can increase the risk of skin damage. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen on your hands or protective gloves during the curing process to minimize risk.
