Bio sculpture nails vs traditional gel nails…
Bio sculpture and traditional gel nails are popular options for long-lasting manicures, but they differ in several fundamental ways:
- Bio sculpture nails use a specially formulated gel free from harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate (DBP). This makes them a healthier option for both the client and the technician. While traditional gel nails, sometimes, contain harsher chemicals.
- The application involves a multi-step process with specific products for base, color, and top layers. The bio sculpture gel is designed to be flexible, which helps in preventing breakage and maintaining nail health. On the other hand, traditional gel nails also involve a base coat, color gel, and top coat, but the flexibility and nail care aspects can vary depending on the brand.
- The removal of bio sculpture nails is designed to be gentle and is typically done by soaking the nails in a solution that lifts the gel off without extensive filing or damage to the natural nail. Whereas, traditional gels often require soaking in acetone and can sometimes involve more filing, which can potentially damage the natural nails if not done carefully.
- The flexible bio sculpture gel can strengthen the nails while allowing them to grow naturally underneath. Depending on the brand and technique, traditional gels can sometimes be less focused on nail health, potentially leading to brittleness or damage if not properly managed.
- Bio sculpture nails are known for their strength combined with flexibility, which reduces the likelihood of chipping and breaking. Conversely, traditional gels are generally durable and strong, but flexibility can vary, sometimes leading to more rigid and brittle nails that may chip or break more easily.
- Bio sculpture gels are vegan and cruelty-free, appealing to clients who prefer ethical beauty products. But in the case of the traditional options, ethical considerations can vary widely between brands, with some offering vegan and cruelty-free options and others not.
While both bio sculpture nails and traditional gel nails offer long-lasting and attractive manicures, the aforementioned is distinguished by their health-conscious formulations, gentle removal process, emphasis on nail health, and ethical production standards. Traditional gel nails, on the other hand, can vary more widely in these aspects depending on the brand and specific products used.
How to remove bio sculpture gel
Removing bio sculpture nails safely involves a gentle process designed to protect the natural nail.
Materials needed
- Bio Sculpture Gel Remover
- Cotton pads or balls
- Aluminum foil or nail clips
- A nail file and buffer
- Cuticle pusher or orange stick
- Cuticle oil
Procedure
- Gently file the top layer of the gel to break the seal. This helps the remover penetrate better.
- Soak cotton pads or balls in the Bio Sculpture Gel remover.
- Place the soaked cotton on each nail and wrap it with aluminum foil or secure it with nail clips. This ensures that the remover stays in contact with the gel.
- Allow the nails to soak for about 10-15 minutes. The gel should start to lift and soften.
- Check one nail to see if the gel has softened. If it has, gently push the gel off using a cuticle pusher or orange stick. Do not force it; if it resists, soak for a few more minutes. Continue this process for each nail.
- Once all the gel is removed, lightly buff the nails to smoothen out any remaining residue.
- Wash your hands thoroughly to get rid of any leftover of the Bio Sculpture Gel remover.
- Apply cuticle oil to nourish and moisturize the nails and cuticles.
- Finish by applying a moisturizing hand cream to keep your skin hydrated.
