Gel Manicure vs Regular Manicure: Which Is Right for You?

One of the most common questions we hear at Arapahoe Snappy Nails is whether to choose a regular or gel manicure. Here is everything you need to know to make the right choice.

Regular Manicure ($27+)

Our regular manicure takes about 30 minutes and includes nail shaping, cuticle care, hand massage, and your choice of regular polish. It is perfect for a quick refresh and ideal if you like changing your nail color frequently.

Shellac/Gel Manicure ($40+)

Our shellac manicure takes about 35 minutes. Gel polish is cured under an LED light for a hard, glossy finish that resists chips for two to three weeks. It is ideal for busy lifestyles and special occasions.

Our Recommendation

If you want maximum longevity, go gel. If you prefer flexibility to change colors often, stick with regular. Either way, our technicians at Arapahoe Snappy Nails in Englewood deliver beautiful results. Call (303) 799-6880 to book.
