Your Gel Polish Questions, Answered
How do I remove gel polish?
We strongly recommend professional removal at Gear & Glam Nails to protect your natural nails. We use a gentle, nourishing soak-off process that leaves your nail bed healthy and ready for your next design.
Will gel polish damage my nails?
When applied and removed correctly by our professionals, gel polish is perfectly safe. Many of our active clients find it even helps protect their nails from breakage during daily routines.
What is the difference between vegan and regular gel?
Vegan polishes are not formulated with any animal-derived ingredients and are 100% cruelty-free. Many of our premium vegan options are also 'toxin-free', excluding common harsh chemicals found in standard industry brands.
