In this video... A structured gel manicure is a gel nail application that is applied thicker than just brushing on your gel product, as is the case when you do a Shellac or Gelish type manicure. We’ll be talking about 3 defining characteristics of a structured gel nail application. A structured gel manicure can also be called a structured gel overlay because in any case you are manicuring the hands and also overlaying them with a nail product. For the purpose of booking and pricing in the salon I used both terms, gel manicure and gel overlay, but I could have easily just said one or the other. For example, I called a “Gel Manicure” my procedure of applying a structured gel base and then the color, no builder gel at all. I then called a “Gel Overlay” the process of adding a thin base, followed by a structured soft builder gel. And as you may already know, that soft builder gel for me is Japanese soft builder gel. It’s got enough thickness and weight to it to give a reinforced but very natural apex and definition.
