Hard Gel Nails

What are GEL NAILS ?

Hard gel nails are a type of artificial nails created using a gelatin-like material called gel. Unlike acrylic nails, which require mixing powder and liquid, hard gel is applied in liquid form and cured under UV or LED light. Hard gel is known for its durability, flexibility, and natural appearance.
