After several layers are added, the wax will be covered in a plastic bag, wrapped in hot towels and you can relax as the benefits kick in. The wax will trap the heat against your skin as it hardens, opening the pores. Once the wax is completely cooled it will be pulled away, taking dead skin cells along with it.

Gel Polish
Gel polishes are used for the increasingly popular gel polish manicures and pedicures. These gel manicures and pedicures are gentle to the natural nail and the polish stays intact on the nail for at least a couple of weeks with high shine and no cracking, peeling or chipping. Gel also comes in a variety of colours. I personally only have gel polish with my manicures and pedicures as its instant dry time and you leave the salon with the guarantee of smudge-free nails and if having a pedicure can put your shoes back on straight away. I also love gel polish if travelling or on holiday as it is more chip-resistant than nail polish.
To remove gel polish we strongly advise to leave this to the professionals. If you pick, rip or peel your gel polish to remove it you are damaging your nail bed and this means your next application of gel polish may not last as long. At V for Hair and Beauty, we buff the surface of your nail with a nail remove the shine, then soak a cotton pad in gel remover and place it directly on top of your nail. Follow by wrapping each finger with a small piece of foil, and after 10 to 15 minutes, the gel polish should slide right off.
