Gel vs. Shellac Manicure: Which Lasts Longer in Rome?

When it comes to choosing between a gel manicure and a Shellac manicure, the best option depends on your lifestyle and the look you love. Both treatments offer glossy, flawless nails — but their durability, texture, and removal process are slightly different.

What Is a Gel Manicure?

A gel manicure is known for its long-lasting strength and shine. It’s ideal if your nails tend to break or if you want a manicure that lasts up to three to four weeks without chipping. Gel polish is thicker and stronger, making it perfect for extensions or detailed nail art.
💡 At MOME Beauty Lounge in Rome, we use professional-grade gels that protect the natural nail and ensure a luxurious, flawless finish.

What Is a Shellac Manicure?

Shellac (semi-permanent polish) offers a more natural, lightweight feel with a beautiful glossy shine. It lasts around two weeks and is gentler on the natural nail. Removal is quicker and less abrasive, making it ideal if you like to change your nail color frequently or prefer a subtle, elegant look.

Which One Should You Choose?

If you want longer wear, added strength, and perfect shine, go for Gel.
If you prefer a natural finish, flexibility, and easy removal, choose Shellac.
At MOME Beauty Lounge Rome, our nail experts can help you decide which manicure best suits your nails, lifestyle, and personal style.
