Attention all nail lovers in Fort Collins! We have some exciting news to share with you. Velvet Files is thrilled to introduce a new service—Gel X Nail Extensions. This service fits seamlessly into our natural nail salon’s philosophy, and we can’t wait to offer it to our clients.
Get ready to elevate your natural nail game to the next level with this trending sensation in the beauty industry, right here in the heart of Fort Collins.
Gel X Nail Extensions are revolutionizing the world of natural manicures. Unlike traditional ‘artificial nails’ like acrylics, dip, or hard gels, Gel X uses soft gel tips that are applied directly over your natural nails.
The process involves applying a thin layer of gel, then curing the gel tips with a UV light, resulting in a lightweight and durable set of nails that feel and look incredibly natural. Best of all, our Gel X service comes standard with a Gel Nail Polish application, ensuring your nails are not only extended but also beautifully finished.
The main difference between Gel X and other methods lies in the materials and application process. Unlike Gel X, traditional acrylics and hard gels often involve the use of harsh chemicals and extensive filing, which can weaken your natural nails.
We recommend Gel X for nail extensions because it prioritizes nail health and the integrity of your nails, offering a more natural and comfortable alternative. If you’re curious about why we don’t work with acrylics, we’ve detailed our reasons in a separate post; “The Dangers of Acrylic Nails & Why We Don’t Work With Them”.
The beauty industry is constantly evolving, and Gel X Nail Extensions represent the future of nail care. This innovative method not only offers a more natural look but also provides a healthier option for your nails. By choosing Gel X, you are opting for a manicure that prioritizes the health and integrity of your natural nails, ensuring they remain strong and beautiful.
