UV/LED Gels

Gels come in many variations from low viscosity for base gels and top gels to high viscosity to sculpt long artificial nails.

There can be many differences between UV and LED gels but the big difference is in the photoinitiator. Keystone Cosmetics offers professional gel lines in UV curing, LED curing as well as the advantage of certain gels in both.
