Gelish announces the launch of Gelish Soft Gels and Soft Gel Tips to create a light-cured, pre-shaped nail enhancement. Gelish Soft Gels offer length with full-coverage and durable nails in just 20 minutes or less.
Soft Gel Tips are full-coverage nail tips made with a unique soft jelly-material that gives flexibility and durability. The Soft Gel tips are designed to cover from the cuticle to free edge. Soft Gel Tips move with the contour of the natural nail for a perfect fitting, stronger and more break-resistant design.
They are available in four ready-to-wear styles: Medium Round, Medium Coffin, Long Coffin, and Long Stiletto and 11 sizes.
The Soft Gel products, Soft Gel Tip Primer and Soft Gel Tip Adhesive, are built on the Gelish Foundation adhesion. Soft Gel Tips are adhered to the nail using an LED curable Gel Tip Adhesive created with patented Gelish technology. Using a soft gel adhesive ensures a premium bond with the Soft Gel Tips for 21 days of ultimate, reinforced wear.
The Soft Gel system allows nail technicians to upcharge for a premium service that takes roughly the same amount of time as a gel polish manicure. Nail technicians can double their profits for the same amount of time spent per service.
Gelish Soft Gels will be available beginning in October 2020 in fine salons and distributors worldwide. For more information, please visit gelish.com.
