Gel nails
A proper gel manicure: cuticle work, shaping, a thin even gel colour cured to last three weeks, and removal that does not take your nail with it. Plus the nail art, from one accent to a full set.
Gel polish should last three weeks without lifting. If yours lasts five days, the problem was the prep, not the product.
A gel manicure starts with the old product taken off properly (soaked and gently pushed, never pried), then cuticles pushed and trimmed, the nail shaped to what suits your hands, the plate cleaned and dehydrated. Then a thin base, two thin coats of colour and a top coat, each cured for the full time. Thin coats are the whole secret: thick gel looks lumpy and lifts at the edges.
We stock about 180 colours, from sheer milky pinks to deep plums and chromes, plus the art: French tips, ombre, foil, marble, hand-painted lines and seasonal designs. Nail art is priced per nail or per set so you can have one accent or the lot.

Questions about gel nails
How long does gel last?
Three weeks on most people, two on nails that grow fast or hands that are in water all day. If it lifts within a week, come back and we will redo the nail for nothing.
