ジェルネイル
Significado: Gel nail manicure; a durable, glossy nail treatment that is the standard in Japanese nail salons.
ジェルネイル refers to nails coated with UV-cured gel polish, which lasts 3-4 weeks without chipping. In Japan, ジェルネイル is the default salon service — far more common than regular polish. The technology allows for the intricate designs Japanese nail art is famous for. Many women maintain ジェルネイル year-round, scheduling monthly salon visits. Home ジェルネイル kits have also become popular, though salon quality remains a significant draw.

✓ Correcto
- ジェルネイルのオフって自分でやると爪傷めない？ (Doesn't removing gel nails yourself damage your nails?)自己卸光疗甲不会伤指甲吗？¿Quitarse las uñas de gel una misma no estropea las uñas?젤 네일 셀프 제거하면 손톱 상하지 않아? (젤 네일 직접 떼면 손톱 안 상해?)
- 初めてジェルネイルするんだけどおすすめのサロンある？ (It's my first time getting gel nails — do you know a good salon?)我第一次做光疗甲，有没有推荐的沙龙？Es la primera vez que me hago uñas de gel. ¿Conoces algún buen salón?젤 네일 처음인데 추천 살롱 있어? (젤 네일 처음 하는데 좋은 살롱 알아?)
✗ Incorrecto
- 「ジェルネイルって爪に悪いでしょ」と決めつけるのは余計なお世話 (Declaring 'gel nails are bad for your nails' is unsolicited and presumptuous)一口咬定说「光疗甲对指甲不好吧」是多管闲事Sentenciar que 'las uñas de gel son malas para las uñas' es entrometerse y dar por hecho cosas「젤 네일은 손톱에 안 좋잖아」라고 단정짓는 것은 참견 ('젤 네일은 손톱에 나쁘잖아'라고 단정짓는 건 불필요하고 주제넘은 참견)
Errores comunes
- Thinking ジェルネイル is the same as regular nail polish — gel nails require UV lamp curing and professional removal, lasting weeks instead of days
