Notify me if someone else comments on this answer Comment. Bella Nails 5 years ago. Shellac should last at least from 10 days up to 2 weeks. Some clients may last up to 3 weeks or even 4 weeks. It is the application technique which ensures the long lasting impact more than just the product itself.

This nail treatment, which is sometimes referred to as a gel manicure, promises to be a long-lasting manicure — it can last up to a full month without chips, breaks or the need for extra coats. If this sounds like your manicure dream coming true, weigh the pros and cons before heading to the nail salon.

As promised, the Gelife manicure lasted for at least two weeks. Those are my nails in the photo at the end of the two weeks. The gel “polish” did start to peel the teeniest bit on the sides, but was only obvious when you looked at my nails closely.

The longevity of gel nail polish treatment is its main benefit. That's because gel polish is cured with UV or LED light. However, regular exposure to UV light can lead to age spots. Almost every Shellac or gel polish treatment will last 14 days. Some people find that the nail polish stays in place for a full month, but new nail growth may send them back to the salon for a touch-up.

Top Answer – As rated by the community. HannahSmith 5 years ago. Shellac lasts UP TO 14 days, although some of my clients can go 3 weeks. As long as they are looked after properly, eg, not used as tools and cuticle oil massaged in daily you should have no problems.

KathyBullock 5 years ago. It should last at least a week, but as the other therapist has said, it does vary. I tell my clients ideally 2 weeks sone last 4 weeks but the very minimum is a week. It sounds as if it was not cured properly under the lamp.

The polish gets sealed by UV, and depending on the type of gel nails you get, the polish will need to be soaked off or removed by filing. They last much longer than traditional manicures, and can stay in good condition for up to 12 days – or longer, depending on several factors.

Just like in a regular manicure, cuticles are pushed back and nails are filed. Nails are also buffed, so the gel adheres more strongly. Next a coat of gel “polish” is applied to each nail, with 30 seconds of drying time under a UV Light in between. A second coat is applied and then allowed to dry again for 30 seconds. At the end of the gel nail mani, I was amazed that my nails truly were dry.
