The Calgel Nail System is a comprehensive range of nail care and enhancement products and treatments centred on Calgel – that comes in over 90 different colours (the everlasting polish).

It can be applied to the natural nail or can be extended to give instant length either by an artificial plastic tip or a sculpture created by the clear gel. Applied by trained and qualified nail technicians working in nail or beauty salons or at home throughout the UK.

• If applied and removed correctly it won't damage the natural nail.
• Its strength is it's flexibility (we say “rubber is stronger than wood”).
• Available in over 90 different colours.
• It lasts approximately 4 weeks before an infill saving time, money and the hassle of having to reapply so often.
• It is versatile and low maintenance as it can be applied on the natural nail and instant length can be created.
• Perfect for the bride on her wedding day as it will last for her wedding as well as the honeymoon.

Nail preparation is carried out using a fine grit file which removes the shine (will not cause any damage), then the nail is sanitised and dehydrated with Calguard, and now the nail is ready to have the gel applied.

The gel is applied with a brush and cured in a UV lamp for 30 seconds for clear gel or 3 minutes for colour gel (to go from a liquid to a solid). Once cured the gel becomes a thin nail-like substance - natural looking and extremely flexible like real nails, but strong and durable without looking thick and false.

If tips are applied the Calgel technician will apply a layer of clear gel underneath to protect the natural nail from the blending of the tip and the resin used.

Calgel can be maintained at home using an Aftercare Kit which contains topcoats, cuticle oil, nail polish remover and full instructions on how to maintain in-between visits to the Calgel technician.

A wide range of nail colours and designs to suit each client’s particular style, taste and requirements can then be applied onto this surface.
