How Polish Gel Help Nail Tech

There are always something new that you can add to your nail service.  The polish on gel coat is another invention that will help keep your nails looking new and shinning.  The benefits of using polish on gel nails are listed below.

1. This is the perfect product for clients who want their manicure to last weeks. It’s a perfect up-sell to polish customers who are looking for longer-lasting color, but make sure you tell them the cost of your new service beforehand because there is a significant price difference.

2. In offering this new product, your prices must be reasonable for you. Factoring in the higher cost for brush-on gel polishes, the UV nail lamp, extra acetone, and the extra week between client visits, your new gel polish service should range from $37 to $45. Any gel polish service price below this will not benefit you (or the nail industry) in the long run.

3. Don’t display these bottles the way you would polish. Leaving these bottles out in the sun or near other UV light sources will reduce the shelf-life of your product since they are UV-reactive. (If you are wondering whether UV nail lamps are safe, check out the article on page 24 about a new study that says they are.)

4. Remember to practice. Although the formula is similar to gel and polish, it has a different consistency that, when applied incorrectly, will lift or chip. Make sure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions and practice on yourself, family, and friends until you’re fully comfortable with the product before offering it to clients.

Know the products and practice it well and begin the marketing process.  Add window or sidewalk signs, update your website, and let every client who comes in know that you now offer brush-on gel polish services. Keeping up with the trends will help you bring in more customers and give you an upper hand on the competition. Don’t forget to update me on how the brush-on gel polishes work for you!
