Bio gel nails are a type of gel manicure that is known for being long-wearing and healthier for nails compared to other types of gel nails. Bio gel nails are made from a thick gel that is applied as an overlay on natural nails or used to build extensions. Unlike other types of gel nails, bio gel nails do not contain harsh bonding ingredients that can damage nails. Instead, they contain vitamins and minerals that promote natural nail growth and keep nails healthy and hydrated. Bio gel nails are available in clear and pigmented colors.

Positive aspects of bio gel nails include:

• Promotes natural nail growth
• No chipping or peeling
• Vitamin dose on nails keeps them healthy and hydrated
• Base coat strengthens and nourishes natural nails
• Keep their glossy look from one week to the next

Negative aspects of bio gel nails include:

• 1 hour process
• Very thick
• Sometimes you just get tired of having the same nail polish for 3 weeks

While bio gel nails are generally considered healthier for nails compared to other types of gel nails, repeated gel manicures can still damage nails and cause brittleness, peeling, and cracking. Some people may also be sensitive to the chemicals in gel polish and experience itchiness, swelling, and burning during application. To keep nails healthy before, during, and after gel manicures, dermatologists recommend being proactive with your manicurist, considering traditional nail polish instead of gel polish, and wearing sunscreen to prevent skin cancer and premature skin aging on the hands.
