Soft gel tips are used to extend the length of natural nails and provide durability and flexibility. Benefits of soft gel tips include: - Natural look and feel: They are thinner and lighter, giving a more seamless fit and natural appearance. - Easy application: Can be applied at home, making them accessible for both professionals and beginners. - Long-lasting: Typically last for 3-4 weeks without chipping or lifting. - No need for nail glue: Use a gel base coat as an adhesive, which is safer and more secure. - Versatility: Come in various shapes and sizes, allowing for customization. Drawbacks include higher cost compared to regular nail tips and the need for UV light during application.
