Gel nails: capsules or chablons?

By: Maryton

Nails are indicative of your femininity and the care you take in your appearance. You can have beautiful hands easily thanks to the installation of false gel nails. But how to choose between a nail extension with capsule and stencil? What are the differences? Today, your expert nail supplier Maryton will give you ideas.

The nail extension with capsule

After having meticulously prepared your nails, the nail technician sticks a capsule  on the free edge of the natural nail. She will cut it according to the desired length, then file it, to give it the requested shape. She then covers it with a layer of gel over the entire surface. The gel must be perfectly modeled before being dried under a UV lamp for 30 seconds to 1 minute, to make it solid.

Gel nails with template

The stencil is a form paper, which acts as a template for the nails. It is double-sided, one of which the nail technician sticks under the free edge of the natural nail. It serves as a guide, fitting the shape of the nail perfectly in order to shape the gel nail for the purpose of an extension. Indeed, it must precisely follow the curvature of the nails and be in their alignment. The nail stylist will then apply gel and shape it to obtain the desired shape and length.

Capsule or chablon, what are the differences?

The natural nails are strengthened and sublimated thanks to the gel, which offers a shiny and lasting result. Working with the stencil requires expertise and offers a very natural result. Also, the layer of gel applied with the stencil is thinner than for a capsule. False nails with stencils or capsules last about four weeks.
