Gel Extension Options at 7 Mirrors
Soft Gel Extensions
Flexible and lightweight, soft gel mimics the natural nail's movement. Applied over nail tips or forms and UV-cured. Ideal for everyday wear, flexible without breaking. Lasts 3-4 weeks.
Hard Gel Extensions
Stronger and more rigid than soft gel — perfect for building significant length. UV-cured in layers for durability. Hard gel cannot be soaked off and is filed for removal. Lasts 4-5 weeks.
Polygel Extensions
A hybrid formula combining the strength of acrylic and flexibility of gel. Odourless, lightweight and easy to work with. Applied using a brush and slip solution. Very comfortable for long-term wear.
Gel Nail Art Options
Gel extensions can be finished with gel polish in any colour, chrome powder, marble effects, ombre gradients and hand-painted designs. The smooth gel surface is perfect for intricate art.
Fill Appointments
As your natural nail grows, a gap appears at the cuticle. Gel fill appointments every 3-4 weeks keep your set looking fresh. Fill pricing is lower than a full set — ask us when booking.
Safe Gel Removal
Soft gel is soaked off with acetone wraps. Hard gel and polygel are filed off carefully. We never force-peel gel — improper removal causes damage. Always trust a professional for removal.

Soft Gel vs Hard Gel vs Polygel — What's the Difference?
| Type | Flexibility | Removal | Best For | Price at 7 Mirrors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soft Gel | High — flexible, natural feel | Soak off in acetone | Short-medium lengths, natural nail look | Rs.1,200-Rs.1,800 |
| Hard Gel | Low — rigid, strong | Must be filed off | Long nails, nail biters, maximum strength | Rs.1,500-Rs.2,500 |
| Polygel | Medium — hybrid flexibility | File off or soak dual forms | Any length, lightweight, less odour | Rs.1,800-Rs.3,000 |
Nagpur's heat makes nail product choice important. Soft gel can soften slightly in peak summer (April-June) — for clients who spend a lot of time outdoors, hard gel or polygel is the more durable choice. In cooler months, all three perform equally well.
Gel Nail Aftercare — Make Them Last Longer
- Apply cuticle oil every night — hydrated skin around the nail prevents lifting at the base
- Wear rubber gloves when washing dishes or using cleaning products
- Avoid picking or peeling — gel lifts from the edge when force is applied, taking natural nail layers with it
- Book a fill appointment every 2-3 weeks as the natural nail grows
- Avoid acetone-based products (some hand sanitisers, nail polish removers) between fills
- If a nail breaks, come in for a repair — don't attempt DIY glue fixes on gel extensions
