Soft Gel for Natural Nails
Our soft gel service is designed for clients who want polished, natural-looking nails without added length or heavy structure. The appointment includes detailed e-file prep, nail plate preparation, shaping, and precise soft gel application before curing.
The cuticle area is prepared dry for better visibility and more control around the nail plate.
Soft gel is applied carefully near the cuticle line for a clean finish, even color, and softer-looking regrowth.
This service works with your current natural nail length and creates a flexible, polished gel finish without extensions.
Safety, Hygiene, and E-File Technique
At Mars Nails, every e-file manicure is performed with controlled technique, single-use files, sterilized metal tools, and close attention to the condition of your natural nails.
We adjust bit choice, pressure, and speed for clean cuticle work without over-filing.
Disposable items are used once. Reusable metal tools are sterilized between appointments.
If your nails are thin, tender, damaged, or over-filed, we adjust the service before applying product.
Pricing and Appointment Time
Your appointment takes about 1 hour 30 minutes and includes dry e-file cuticle prep, shaping, nail plate preparation, and soft gel applied close to the cuticle line.
Final pricing depends on removal, nail length, repairs, and nail design add-ons

FAQ
- How long do gel nails last?
- Around 3-4 weeks. It can vary a little depending on how fast your nails grow and how much wear they get day to day.
- Is a soft gel the same as builder gel?
- No. Soft gel is a more flexible overlay, while builder gel provides more structure and support for thin, weak, or fragile nails.
- Can I add French, chrome, cat eye, or nail art?
- Yes. French, chrome, cat eye, and nail art can usually be added depending on timing and design complexity.
