What Full-Cover Soft Gel Tips Are
A full-cover tip is placed over the natural nail rather than only at the free edge. The tip contributes the extension length and much of the final shape.
Soft gel tips use gel products and curing rather than a liquid and powder acrylic system.
Soft Gel Tips Versus Gel Overlays
| Feature | COVR Soft Gel Tips | Gel overlay |
|---|---|---|
| Adds extension length | Yes | No |
| Full-cover tip applied | Yes | No |
| Shape source | Tip shape and refinement | Natural nail shape |
| Natural nail length required | Less critical | Determines the finished length |
Soft Gel Tips Versus Structured Gel Manicures
A structured gel manicure focuses on reinforcing the natural nail. Soft gel tips add length beyond the natural nail. Choose based on whether length or reinforcement is your main goal.
Who Might Consider Soft Gel Tips?
Soft gel tips may correspond with your goal when:
- You want added length
- Your natural nails are short or uneven
- You want a consistent shape across all ten nails
- You are not focused only on natural nail reinforcement
Before Your Appointment
Tell NailsbyBeau if:
- You currently wear extensions applied elsewhere
- You need removal
- There is lifting, cracking or breakage
- A natural nail is damaged
This helps identify the appointment type required.
Maintenance and Removal
As natural nails grow, the applied set moves forward and new growth becomes visible near the base. Maintenance may involve reducing product, addressing growth or replacing tips.
Do not force or pry tips off. Contact NailsbyBeau for removal or if a tip becomes damaged.
