How to Perform American Capsule Installation? -

What is American Capsule placement?

, quick technique for adding length to natural nails with a rounded effect, avoiding difficult shaping work. American Gel Capsules are attached to the natural nails, just behind the cuticles, by a gel base coat and therefore have greater adhesion strength than traditional capsule applications.

How long does the installation of American capsules take?

Since American Soft Gel Capsules are placed on nails using the strong adhesion of a gel base coat, this application can last 3 to 4 weeks, according to Gelish. Your client’s adherence will of course have an impact on the durability of your American Capsules application.
