Apres Gel -X Extensions
Gel-X is a "soft extension," meaning it artificially lengthens your nails but still feels flexible, not hard, plastic-y, and molded from, as the name says, gel. Pre-shape full coverage tips are applied to the natural nails with minimal filing to the natural nails itself yet allowing for a strong and natural feeling extension. These extensions can also be cut and filed into any shape and length after application.
Structure Gel System
Luminary's Multi-Flex Gel is a soft gel with the strength of acrylic and flexibility of hard gel that has real staying power. It is a universal base product for overlay, meaning you need one product to create a beautiful structured manicure to protect and strengthen your natural nails. Because of Multi-Flex's semi-hard formula, it can be soaked off or backfilled.
Gel Manicure
A gel manicure is a type of nail treatment that uses gel-based nail polish cured under a UV or LED lamp. Unlike traditional nail polishes, gel formulas are designed to provide a longer-lasting finish, with durability that can last up to two weeks or more without chipping.
Acrylic Enhancement
Acrylic nails are composed of polymer powder and liquid monomers. When the two ingredients are mixed together, they create a putty-like consistency that's molded to the nail to create a thick, durable coating over both your natural nail and the nail extension that has been applied. It is important to note that there are two types of acrylic used by nail salons: ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). MMA is a dental acrylic that is extremely hard and doesn’t soak off in acetone, as well as extremely lower in cost than EMA. Non-standard salons will remove MMA by filing off the product or ripping them off the natural nails. This method of removal is very damaging to your nail plate and can rip your natural nails off; leading to pain, exposure to bacteria, and potential long term damage.
* Please note, we do not offer MMA at our salon and will not be able to remove MMA acrylic. Please come to your service bare of acrylic products from other salons.
