American capsule application is an innovative manicure technique, also known as X-Gel. It creates elegant, durable, and natural-looking nails using specially designed gel capsules.
American capsule application: a durable and attractive method
The application begins with nail preparation (cleaning, filing, and pushing back the cuticles). Pre-made gel capsules, available in transparent or nude shades, are selected to fit the natural shape of each nail. They are then glued, fitted, and covered with semi-permanent polish and a finishing gel. Each layer is cured under a UV or LED lamp to ensure shine and long-lasting wear.
This method offers numerous benefits: a natural appearance, comfort, strength, and protection of the natural nails. American capsule application is therefore ideal for flawless hands for several weeks.
