Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the gel polish add-on cost at Rubi Nail Spa?
The gel polish add-on is just $20 when added to any compatible service at Rubi Nail Spa in Westminster, CO. This is more affordable than booking a separate gel manicure and extends the life of your service significantly.
Can I add gel polish to any manicure or pedicure?
Yes! Gel polish can be added to most manicure and pedicure services including Classic Manicure, Paraffin Manicure, Keratin Manicure, and Classic Pedicure. However, services that already include gel polish (like Gel Manicure or Dipping Manicure) do not need this add-on.
How long does gel polish last compared to regular polish?
Regular polish typically lasts 5-7 days, while gel polish lasts 2-3 weeks without chipping. Gel polish is perfect for vacations, weddings, or anytime you want long-lasting, maintenance-free nails. On toes, gel polish can last even longer - often 4-5 weeks.
Is gel polish better than regular polish?
Gel polish lasts 2-3 weeks without chipping compared to regular polish which lasts 5-7 days. Gel dries instantly under UV/LED light, provides higher gloss, and strengthens nails. Regular polish is easier to remove and costs less. Choose based on your lifestyle and budget.
Does gel polish damage natural nails?
No, gel polish does not damage natural nails when applied and removed properly by professionals. The gel actually protects and strengthens nails. Damage only occurs when gel is peeled or picked off improperly.
How long does adding gel polish take?
The gel polish add-on adds approximately 15 minutes to your service time. This includes application of gel base coat, color coats, top coat, and LED/UV curing time for each layer. However, you save time by not needing to worry about drying or smudging.
Will gel polish dry instantly?
Yes! One of the biggest advantages of gel polish is that it cures instantly under LED/UV light. You can immediately use your hands or put on shoes without any risk of smudging or denting your polish.
What colors are available?
We offer an extensive selection of gel polish colors including classic reds, soft pinks, elegant nudes, bold brights, and seasonal shades. Our collection includes hundreds of colors to match any style or occasion.
How do I make my gel polish last longer?
To maximize gel polish longevity: wear gloves when doing dishes or cleaning, apply cuticle oil daily, avoid using nails as tools, and use gentle hand soap. With proper care, gel polish easily lasts the full 2-3 weeks.
Can I remove gel polish at home or do I need professional removal?
While gel polish can be removed at home by soaking in acetone, we strongly recommend professional removal to protect your nail health. We offer gel removal services, and when combined with a new manicure, removal is often complimentary.
Is the gel polish add-on worth it?
For most clients, absolutely! The $20 upgrade provides 2-3 times the longevity of regular polish, instant drying, and superior shine. If you wash your hands frequently, have an active lifestyle, or simply want worry-free nails, gel polish is an excellent investment.
Can kids get gel polish?
Yes! Gel polish is safe for children under the age of 11. Many parents choose gel polish for special occasions because it lasts through active play and eliminates the risk of smudging while drying.
