La technique du Gel et Poudre

The Gel and Powder technique

The Gel and Powder technique is an innovative method that combines the strength of UV gel and the fineness of powder to offer a durable and aesthetic manicure. Ongles d'Or's Oh Blush range offers professional quality products to easily perform this technique, whether you are a beginner or an experienced technician.

What is the Gel and Powder technique?

The Gel and Powder technique consists of applying a layer of gel to the nail, then sprinkling a colored powder before curing everything under a UV/LED lamp. This process is repeated to obtain the desired thickness and color. The result is a resistant, shiny manicure that does not require intensive filing.

Why choose Oh Blush Gel?
