A gel pedicure is a type of nail treatment that uses a special gel polish, which is cured under a UV or LED light. This process helps the polish to harden quickly, resulting in a long-lasting finish that can resist chipping and fading for weeks. Gel pedicures often provide a glossy look and are available in various colors and designs. During a gel pedicure, the nails are typically shaped, cuticles are pushed back, and any dead skin is removed. After applying the gel polish, the nails are cured under the light, ensuring a durable and smooth surface. This treatment is popular for its longevity and vibrant appearance compared to traditional nail polish.
