A structured gel manicure is a type of gel nail application that is applied thicker than a standard gel manicure, using a soft or hard gel to build up the natural nail to make it stronger and thicker before applying polish. The builder gel is applied in a way so that the center (apex) of the nail is thicker, giving the nail more strength as it grows out as well as giving it a more beautiful, arched shape. Structured gel polish typically contains a combination of ingredients such as oligomers and monomers, which are found in acrylic nail products.
