Talk:Gel nails

Comment
I am working on this article. It should be finished in the next week or so. Gel nails are different to artificial nails and should not be redirected.

Is this written by someone that sells them, or is it copied from an advert?
"These manicures, when done by caring, experienced, and trained professionals, are gentle to the natural nail and the polish stays intact on the nail for at least a couple of weeks with high shine and no cracking, peeling or chipping."

that kind of language is a bit trite.

Corrections and Additions
In the initial summary of gel nails I have made some minor corrections and additions. Firstly, in the section referring to curing the gel nails I changed it from just regarding UV curing to both UV and LED curing. Secondly, in the same section and final sentence I have changed it to only referring to gel extensions to also referring to gel manicures (because this part of the process is completely the same for both) and then added the proper identification for the "tacky" layer known as the inhibition layer. Also, made a correction in the same area to use a lint-free wipe rather than your ordinary cotton wipes.

Lastly, I have added in the "Pro of Gel Nails" section that the removal can only be done by soaking off the nails, but also by wrapping them with acetone. And, removed a con in the "Con of Gel Nails" section that mentioned hard gel nails only being able to be removed by filling off the product when in fact they are more than able to be removed safely with soaking in acetone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MCO494Student (talk • contribs) 21:30, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
