Gel Polish Manicure – Key Benefits
Gel polish manicure is a popular nail styling method known for its long-lasting finish, colour variety and glossy appearance.
The system combines the application style of traditional nail polish with UV/LED curing, allowing each layer to harden quickly and creating a durable manicure suitable for both everyday wear and professional salon work.
- Long-lasting finish – when applied correctly, gel polish manicure can maintain its appearance for several weeks.
- Fast curing – individual layers are cured in a suitable UV/LED lamp according to the product instructions.
- Wide range of colours and finishes – from classic shades and nudes to bold colours, shimmer and matte effects.
- Versatile application – suitable for simple colour manicures as well as more detailed nail art.
Gel Polish for Everyday and Professional Nail Styling
Gel polish is a versatile option for users who want a neat, polished manicure with a longer wear time than traditional nail polish.
The LART range allows you to create both subtle everyday manicures and more expressive styles using different colours and finishing products.
Colours and Finishes for Every Style
A wide selection of gel polish colours makes it easy to adapt the manicure to different seasons, occasions and personal preferences.
Depending on the selected products, you can create glossy, matte, shimmering and other decorative finishes.
How to Remove Gel Polish
The appropriate removal method depends on the products used in the manicure. Selected soak-off gel polish products can be removed using acetone after the top layer has been prepared according to the recommended procedure.
Product should never be peeled or forcibly scraped from the natural nail. Careful removal helps minimise unnecessary mechanical damage to the nail plate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gel Polish Manicure
How should the natural nail be prepared before gel polish application?
Proper nail preparation is important for achieving an even and durable manicure.
A typical preparation process includes:
- cleaning and degreasing the nail plate;
- gently mattifying the surface where required;
- preparing the cuticle area;
- removing all dust before product application;
- applying Primer when required by the selected Base or the condition of the nail plate.
Are Base and Top necessary for gel polish manicure?
A Base and Top are normally part of a complete gel polish system. The Base prepares the surface for colour application, while the Top completes and protects the finished manicure.
Always follow the instructions for the selected LART products, as application requirements may differ between systems.
How long should gel polish be cured in a UV/LED lamp?
Curing time depends on the selected product and the specifications of the UV/LED lamp.
For LART products, always follow the curing time provided in the product instructions. Some highly pigmented shades, including selected black and white colours, may require a longer curing time.
Can gel polish products from different brands be combined?
Products from different brands may have different formulations and curing requirements.
For a predictable application process, it is recommended to use products designed to work together within the same system and follow the relevant manufacturer's instructions.
How can gel polish be removed at home?
If the selected gel polish system is designed for soak-off removal, the top layer can first be prepared according to the product instructions, followed by the appropriate acetone removal procedure.
Do not peel the product from the natural nail. If you are unsure how the selected product should be removed, follow its instructions or have the manicure removed professionally.
Is gel polish suitable for thin or brittle nails?
This depends on the condition of the natural nail and the products used. The nail plate should be assessed before application, especially if it is damaged, very thin or otherwise compromised.
If there are signs of irritation, infection or significant nail damage, nail styling should be postponed until the cause has been addressed.
Do you need regular breaks from gel polish manicure?
Routine breaks are not automatically required simply because gel polish is being worn.
However, if the natural nail becomes damaged, irritated or shows signs of infection, further styling should be avoided until the nail has recovered and, where appropriate, professional advice has been obtained.
How should nails and cuticles be cared for after removal?
After removal, cuticle oil and suitable hand care products can be used to keep the skin around the nails moisturised and maintain a neat appearance.
