The Most Asked Questions by UK Nail Technicians – Answered!

As a nail tech, you want top-quality products that last, apply smoothly, and keep clients coming back. But with so many options out there, it’s natural to have questions. We’ve rounded up the most common ones UK nail techs ask and answered them below!

1. What’s the Best Gel Polish for Long-Lasting Wear?

Longevity is key! Look for highly pigmented gel polishes with a strong formula. The Dolla Nails Pro gel polish range is chip-resistant, easy to apply, and cures quickly under LED/UV lamps.

2. What’s the Difference Between Builder Gel and Hard Gel?

Builder gel is thicker, self-levelling, and great for extensions or overlays. Hard gel is stronger and more durable but needs filing for removal. Both are excellent, depending on your client’s needs!

3. Which Acrylic Powder is Best for Beginners?

Go for a slow-setting acrylic powder if you’re still mastering your application. It's better yto use the finely milled powders that are smooth to work with and provide a flawless finish.

4. How Do I Stop Gel Polish from Peeling?

Prepping the nail is crucial! Always remove oils, use a quality base coat, and avoid flooding the cuticle. A proper cure under a high-quality lamp also makes a big difference.

5. What’s the Best Nail Prep and Dehydrator?

A good prep system ensures better adhesion and longer wear. Use a pH-balancing dehydrator followed by a primer to create the perfect base for any enhancement.
