Gel nails are known for their glossy finish and durability, but how long do gel nails actually last? On average, gel nails last between 2 to 3 weeks. With proper care, some clients enjoy up to 4 weeks of flawless wear.
What Affects the Lifespan of Gel Nails?
Several factors determine how long your gel manicure will hold up:
- Product quality – We use professional-grade gel that resists chipping.
- Application technique – Proper nail prep ensures a longer-lasting manicure.
- Daily habits – Water, heat, and pressure can weaken your nails.

- Wear gloves while doing dishes or cleaning.
- Apply cuticle oil daily to keep your nails hydrated.
- Never pick or peel your gel – always book a proper removal.
