Gel Manicure in Dubai & Abu Dhabi

About Our Gel Manicure Service 

Every gel manicure at It's Beauty starts with cuticle care and nail shaping. This is followed by gel polish application, and then UV/LED light curing. The appointment takes around 60-75 minutes, depending on the exact service you choose, and includes a hand massage at the end of the session.

At It's Beauty, we work with a curated selection of professional gel brands. Our primary gel system is Luxio. Luxio is a premium European UV/LED gel brand with a palette of more than 200 shades. The gels from Luxio are known for their durability, depth of color, and smooth glossy finish. For additional gel options, we also use MAL. For base coats and classic gel polish, we work with Kinetics, which is a respected brand trusted by nail salons all over Europe and the Middle East.

The combination of materials from these professional brands means that gel nails Dubai hold their shape, color and shine for up to three weeks after leaving the salon, without chipping or breakage. The finish remains glossy, the application stays even, and the coat keeps flexible enough to move with your natural nails, rather than cracking under pressure.

At It's Beauty, we use the term long-lasting gel polish (often called shellac gel polish) to describe this service. A thin soak-off coating applied in layers, then cured under LED or UV lights, which can later be removed with acetone, without any need to file down the natural nail.

If clients want to have the most precise cuticle work alongside their gel polish at It's Beauty, we recommend our popular Russian manicure gel complex. Check out the gel manicure Dubai services table below.

Our Gel Manicure Services & Prices

It's Beauty offers a complete range of gel nail services to suit different needs.

Our Russian manicure gel complex is the perfect choice for clients who want the cleanest possible finish, alongside thorough cuticle work. For our returning clients who want a fresh application without a full treatment, our gel polish refill offering is a great option. Gel overlay is an add-on for those choosing a classic manicure instead of gel nails, as it adds a strengthening layer over natural nails for clients who want extra protection, without the full gel service.

How Gel Manicure Differs from Other Options

In terms of structure and wear, gel manicure sits somewhere between classic nail polish and acrylic. Knowing the difference between gel and the other available nail options helps you pick the right service for your circumstances.

Gel polish is a thin, flexible coating. After application, it is cured under UV or LED light. It lasts 2-3 weeks without chipping. Once you wish to remove it, it soaks off cleanly with acetone, without the need for any filing, and without any damage to the natural nail surface. The polish moves with the nail rather than against it, so as your nails grow, the gel won’t break. Gel nails in Dubai are popular for their durability. The finish stays intact in heat and humidity much better than classic polish.

Regular manicure works differently. It dries by air evaporation, and typically lasts 2-7 days before chipping or fading. With classic polish, there is no curing step, and it can be removed easily from the nail with standard remover. Because it lasts a much shorter time than gel nails, It's a good option for those who want less commitment or want to change their color very frequently. 

Acrylic is a harder, thicker material. It is applied as a liquid-powder mix that air-hardens. Acrylic nails are mainly used for extensions, as they can add significant length beyond the natural tip of the nail. Removal is a much longer process and more involved, requiring filing. It is an option for those who want to add nail extensions rather than just coating.

At It's Beauty, clients who want a gel finish alongside precise, deep cuticle work can opt for the Russian manicure gel complex treatment, which covers both in one appointment. 

Care for Your Gel Manicure

If you have the right aftercare, your gel manicure can last for the full three weeks. This list has a few simple habits that will keep your nails staying glossy and chip-free.

• Apply cuticle oil daily: Putting oil on each nail every morning prevents the gel edge from lifting by keeping the skin around the nail flexible.
• Wear gloves: If you’re cleaning at home, make sure to use gloves. Prolonged exposure to cleaning products is one of the most common causes of early gel lifting, alongside hot water. Putting rubber gloves on takes just seconds, and can save your nails.
• Don’t use your nails as tools: Many women use their nails for daily tasks, such as opening packaging or prying open difficult lids. This is a mistake, as it puts lateral stress on the edge of the gel and can cause early chipping.
• Avoid peeling or picking: Damage from improper removal of gel strips layers from the natural nail surface. This damage adds up all the time, and this cumulative effect is to be avoided.
• Book a professional removal: The soak-off removal service is gentle and controlled. It leaves the natural nail intact. If you’re ready for a new nail, book a gel polish removal at It's Beauty.
