1. What is spider gel?

Spider gel is a viscous and rubbery substance that allows you to create straight, fine lines on your nails. The nail art technique is often used in a nail studio because you have a unique result in a short period of time. In addition, it is very easy to apply. You place your brush or cuticle stick in the spider gel pot. When you lift the tool, you will notice that the viscous substance remains. Now go from one place to another on your nail. After performing this movement, the viscous gel will leave a line on your nail in the shape of your movement.

Spider gel is a technique that has been on the market for a few years. It started with the standard white and black color. When the popularity of the gel increased strongly, many other colors were released. The rapid growth of nail stylists who use the product is mainly due to the low level of difficulty and the short time required, while still having a creative nail art styling as a result. Buy spider gel = save time!

Professional spider gel has a very high pigmentation. Due to the very high coverage even the thinnest lines are clearly visible. Spider gel can be applied to any artificial nail technique (acrylic, gel, gel polish and acrylic gel).
