Looking for lightweight, flexible nail extensions with a natural finish? Our soft gel nail extensions in Brighton provide strength and length without the heavy feel of traditional acrylics.
What Are Soft Gel Nail Extensions?
Soft gel nail extensions are created using a flexible builder gel that is cured under an LED lamp to form a durable yet lightweight extension. Unlike acrylic, soft gel systems do not require liquid monomer and have minimal odour during application.
Soft gel extensions are ideal for clients who want added length and structure while maintaining a more natural feel and movement. The result is glossy, elegant nails that feel comfortable and refined.
We Use the OPI Gelevate Soft Gel System
At Nail Lounge & Spa, we use the OPI Gelevate soft gel system, designed to deliver strong, lightweight extensions with a smooth, natural-looking finish. OPI is a globally recognised professional nail brand known for high-performance formulas and long-lasting results.
The Gelevate system allows us to sculpt extensions with precision, ensuring balanced structure, flexibility, and durability.
Soft Gel vs Hard Gel vs Acrylic Extensions: What’s the Difference?
Soft gel, hard gel, and acrylic extensions all provide long-lasting nail enhancements, but each system offers a different balance of flexibility, strength, and structure. Your ideal choice will depend on the length you want, how lightweight you prefer your nails to feel, and the overall style you’re aiming to achieve.
