If you are considering Gel X, our Hybrid Gel is the best choice. Hybrid Gel benefits your natural nails while using clean chemicals. Hybrid Gel also requires skillful and professional application.

Gel X on the other hand is a press on nail — possible to be done at home — that can cause discomfort to the nail bed while worn. It can negatively affect the growth of your natural nail, and cause them to become brittle and damaged.

Over time, using long wear press ons like Gel X will fundamentally change how your nails grow — and not for the better. Under the full coverage of Gel X press ons, natural nails will grow up and away from the tip of your finger — the opposite of natural nail bed growth.

Pink Polish was the first Seattle salon to offer Hybrid Gel, starting in 2022. We couldn't be happier that our clients love it as much as we do.

We transitioned away from acrylics because our Hybrid Gel system offers superior results for nail health and longevity. Hybrid Gel is less damaging, uses cleaner chemistry, and produces a more natural-looking finish. We believe it's simply the better choice for your nails.
