Gels are an overlay treatment to your natural nail plate, that has replaced the traditional nail varnish at the end of your manicure in recent years.  Gel nails typically last anywhere between 3-6 weeks depending on the condition of your natural nails and lifestyle.  Gel polishes come in every colour you could possiblly imagine and are cured under a UV or LED lamp which means they are completely "dry" at the end of your appointment.

BIAB (Builder Gel in a Botttle) is a stronger gel enhancement that is best suited to people who are prone to weaker nails or are more "heavy handed" with their hands.  This system is less likely to chip or lift due to the latest bonding technology.  This system can last between 3-5 weeks depending on lifestyle.

Builder Gel or Hard Gel is a system that is best suited to people who want to maintain long natural nails or tip extensions. This is the strongest of all gel systems but unlike the others, this system needs to be completely filed off - not soaked.  

There are a lot of concerns that gels are damaging to your natural nails, but in fact if they are applied and removed correctly there will be no damage to your natural nails at all.

Only the best nail care brands are used (Nailchemy, Magpie and DNKA) which are proudly HEMA  and TPO free.

Your new nails are jewels not tools, so care and maintenance is required to ensure your enhancements last.

• Use cuticle oil daily to hydrate and feed your natural nails
• Use gloves for cleaning, gardening and washing up
• Avoid extreme heat for the first 24 hours (sunbeds, saunas, steam rooms)
• Avoid prolonged submersion in water
• Avoid using your nails to open cans and picking off stickers
• Always remove your enhancements correctly - do not pick or bite them off as you risk taking layers off your natural nails
• Wash your hands after applying sun cream or fake tan

A luxury manicure is the ultimate treatment for your hands and nails which is very soothing. I use all organic, vegan friendly and bio-degradable products, which means your pampering is also helping the planet.  What's not to love!

During your luxury manicure you will have the skin soaked, exfoliated, massaged and hydrated.  Your cuticles will be softened and all dead cuticles will be removed.   This is then followed by your choice of gel polish, which will last approx 4 weeks. There will be an additional charge for any nail art required.
