Regular nail polish chips easily, but gel polish in Tampere gives your nails a durable, glossy, and polished surface for up to 2–3 weeks. It is an excellent choice if you want neat nails for everyday life, parties, holidays, or work without constant touch-ups.
At Margaret Beauty Care, gel polish is done carefully while respecting the condition of your natural nails. Our beauty salon is located at Satamakatu 3 in the center of Tampere, and it is easy to reach us from areas like Tammela, Kaleva, Pyynikki, and Hervanta.
What is gel polish?
Gel polish is a long-lasting polish applied over the natural nail, which is cured using UV or LED light. It looks natural, feels light, and withstands daily wear much better than regular nail polish.

Steps of gel polishing
- Nail assessment – we check the condition of the natural nail and choose the appropriate treatment.
- Shaping – the nails are filed into the desired shape.
- Cuticle care – the result looks cleaner and more finished.
- Base coat – improves adhesion and protects the natural nail.
- Color coats – the chosen shade is cured under the lamp layer by layer.
- Top coat – gives shine and protects the color from wear.

Gel polish or nail extensions?
Gel polish is suitable if your own nails are strong enough and you want a beautiful colored surface without extra length. On the other hand, if your nails are very short, fragile, or you want significantly longer nails, nail extensions in Tampere might be a better option.
Who is gel polish for?
Gel polish is especially suitable for you if you want nails that look neat day after day. It is a popular choice for busy customers, customer service workers, holidaymakers, and those preparing for parties.
Home care for gel polish
The most durable result is achieved when you also care for your nails properly at home:

When done correctly and removed by a professional, gel polish does not damage the natural nail. You should always avoid picking it off yourself.
What is the difference between gel polish and nail extensions?
