It seems that every time I go to a nail salon, there is still a choice in the menu. Recently, I found dip dust nails, silk nail extensions and controversial Russian manicure. This summer, however, nail lovers are interested in a particular trend: structured manicure.
On TikitokThe manicure technique has millions of views and a steady increase in Google search traffic has occurred around structured gels, with people looking for more information about the process, including advantages, disadvantages and costs.
What is a structured gel manicure?
If you have heard of the builder in a bottle (biab), then you have heard of a structured gel manicure. It’s just a different name. In the same way that the CND made Shellac a domestic name (it is really a soft manicure using the CND system), the gel bottle has characterized a builder in a bottle or biab, which is a structured gel. Some lounges will call the Gel Builder Service or Biab, others will call it a structured gel, while the CND calls it “Plexigel”. But in fact, this means the same thing: a thick or hard manicure.
“A structured manicure gel uses a Gel Builder product to create a long and extremely durable nail improvement,” explains Manicurist London -based manicurist Ami streets. “The Gel Builder is a thicker viscosity than other gel -based products and allows sculpture, configuration and nail expansion as you wish.” Applying a structured gel over your natural nails will give them an appearance and lead to a long manicure. You can also use a structured gel to add length to the edge of your nail. This involves applying the gel over a plastic nail edge, creating an extension of a gel.

The structured gel lacquer goes thick and looks almost rubber due to the profile of the ingredient. “Structured gel lacquer typically contains a combination [molecules that react to UV] By essentially allowing to cure and regulate under ultraviolet radiation or LED light, “the roads explains that thicker consistency will usually provide longer wear time, while enhancing the strength and structure of the natural nail below.
What happens during a structured gel manicure?
Getting a structured gel manicure is like getting a soft gel or glossy glossy, but there is a little more configuration and molding with the thicker gel. You just choose your color and then the preparation and the application begins.
‘Depending on the system [or] Brand, a boot product is commonly used for dehydrated [the nail] And to create a better traction for the basic layer, which is applied and healed before the building is used, “explains the roads. Because there is extra thickness in the varnish, the process involves casting a peak or the highest part of the nail, to provide balance and strength, the roads.
You can also add nail art to your structured gel. A French manicure using structured gel lacquer is particularly popular.

How long does a structured gel manicure last?
On average, a structured gel manicure will take three weeks, but you will probably push it to four (I have). “The rate of natural nail growth will affect the time between removal,” the roads explains. “I would recommend that you keep three weeks as a maximum time frame to maintain a regular maintenance routine for optimal results.” The real benefit of a structured gel is its longevity. Because the gel is thick and applied to layers, it will not peel or lift the same way that it can be a soft gel. However, the disadvantage is that you need to remove a structured gel manicure professionally. This is important because poor home removal can cause harm to your nails. It means that you are loops in the gel cycle that can be time consuming and expensive, however.

How much does a structured gel manicure cost?
“Structured gel manicures are slightly more expensive than the most traditional Polish or other gel color services offered in a living room,” the roads explains. “The price reflects the application time for sculpture, reinforcement or extensions and increased durability you can expect from this kind of manicure.” In New York, you can expect to pay about $ 100 all, but the cost will be different from the living room in the living room. If you add removal and gel art, it can become more expensive.
Are there any disadvantages in a structured gel manicure?
The cost can be prohibitive, as is the time spent on removal and review. In addition, if you want to avoid exposure to ultraviolet radiation and nail lamps, this may not be a service for you. However, roads say that if you are looking for the best stroke for your buck when it comes to longevity and durability (for example, go on a two -week vacation and you don’t want to worry about your nails) a structured gel manicure is a great idea.
“Structured gel manicures are ideal for those looking for a long service that can add strength and support to weak and fragile nails,” Streets says. He believes that regular use of a construction product such as a structured gel can help with nail development by supporting, reinforcing and reinforcing nails to withstand wear. In essence, it acts as a protective layer over the natural nail. This is based on obtaining a professional application and removal every three weeks. If Tiktok is something to go throughHe certainly seems to work for those who are committed to maintenance.
