A gel pedicure makes use of UV light technology to provide long-lasting nail color. It is more expensive than a regular pedicure but involves the same basic steps.
Once the nails are cleaned, cut, and filed, they are topped with gel polishes in 3 layers – base coat, color, and top coat. Every layer is accompanied by curing under an LED light. A gel-based polish is more durable and remains chip-free for longer. The results can last anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks.
