What is gel polish?

Gel nails will last till your nail growth needs covering. Gel Polish is also instant curing using UV light; so you can walk away with dry, perfect nails.

 

What kind of gel do we use?

Viva uses the best gel we can get our hands on. We use Magic Gel. We have found this to be the strongest with the best adhesion to your nail. It is also vegan, cruelty free and uses no known carcinogens. 

What do we suggest to strengthen your nails?

We highly suggest you try Dadi Cuticle Oil and Duri Rejuvacote. The Dadi Oil promotes healthy nail growth and keeps your nail bed hydrated. Duri Rejuvacote strengthens your nails and minimizes splits and cracks in the nail bed. Both of which are available at the spa.

PRODUCTS
Why do we suggest you stop using drugstore products?

Drug store products are full of fillers. This is so they can be picked off a shelf and anyone can use them without instruction. This means you have to use more of the product and they have fewer results, if any. Many of them have such low concentrations of active ingredients you really aren't getting your dollars worth. When you are purchasing products spa use they have been clinically tested to give you significant benefits. Many also include fragrances. Fragrance recipes are protected under copyright protection so they can not be replicated. Unfortunately, fragrances ingredients are well-known carcinogens which means they cause cancer. It is always better to know exactly what you're putting on your skin, as these products are dissolving directly into your body.
