What is Hard Gel Manicure?
Hard Gel Manicure uses advanced gel technology to give your nails maximum strength, shape, and a natural look that lasts. Unlike regular gel polish, hard gel forms a strong, protective layer on the nail, supporting growth and helping to prevent breakage. This is the ideal option for anyone who wants resilient, beautifully sculpted nails with a flawless surface.
