3. Capsules Classiques vs Gel-X : Le Comparatif
4. Quelle Technique Choisir ?
- Tu débutes et tu veux tester les extensions d’ongles à petit prix → Opte pour les capsules classiques.
- Tu recherches un rendu naturel, moderne, tendance TikTok/Instagram → Choisis le Gel-X.
- Tu es prothésiste ongulaire → Le Gel-X permet d’accélérer la pose et de séduire une clientèle jeune.
Où Trouver Ton Matériel ?
- Collection Capsules – pour les poses classiques.
- Collection Gel-X / Soft Gel – pour la pose américaine.
- Coats (Base & Top) – bases gel, rubber/BIAB et top coats.
- Limes & Blocs Polissoirs – préparation et finitions.
Conclusion
Les deux techniques ont leurs avantages, mais le Gel-X s’impose comme la tendance 2025 grâce à sa rapidité, son rendu naturel et sa tenue longue durée. Les capsules classiques restent une alternative économique, mais si tu veux un résultat digne d’un salon, le Gel-X est fait pour toi.
