Nail Enhancements

 

There are so many choices for nail enhancements, let us help you decide what is best for you and your lifestyle. 

​

Acrylic extensions - You will have heard about these, they have been around for years! I know when I trained back in 1998 they had been around for a while back then. Acrylic nail extensions are good if you are heavy on your nails, these are robust and hard wearing. This is a liquid (Monomer) and powder system that is applied by your nail technician over tips. You will need to have regular maintenance on all nail treatments, usually about 2-3 weeks. These nails are then filed and reshaped, cuticle work is done and fresh acrylic is infilled, where the nails have grown up. You can have a range of finishes applied to these nails, encapsulation, gel colour, french, etc. 

​

Hard gel - Hard gel nails are a popular option for those seeking a durable and long-lasting manicure. from a gel-like substance that hardens when cured under a UV or LED light, they provide a strong and glossy application. Unlike traditional acrylic nails, hard gel is more flexible making it ideal everyday wear. These nails can be shaped and styled to suit your personal preferences, offering a wide range of design possibilities. Hard gel works well for extended lengths, so if you are looking for an overlay on natural nails, but you are wanting a longer length these would be a good option for you. 

​

​Builder gel - This is also known as BIAB (a particular brand name). This is a versatile nail enhancement product designed to add strength and durability to natural nails. It has a thicker consistency to gel polish and can help you grow your natural nails with an extra layer of strength. Builder gel cures under UV or LED light, and can be finished with a gel colour or art of your choice. Builder gel is applied over natural nails and can be infilled every 2-3 weeks, as they grow. 

​

Full cover Gel Xtensions - These are a new system that you may also know as Apres Gel X (a brand name). We have been offering these nails for a few years and absolutely love them. Are you looking for thin, durable, natural looking longer nails? We use Nail Order Gel Xtensions, where the full cover tip is made of gel and applied with gel. This can be soaked off and changed at every appointment or infilled with builder gel to help promote the growth of your natural nail underneath. We have a range of shapes and lengths, giving you the option of different nails for every occasion. 

​

Gel polish - A perfect choice if you are looking for long lasting colour. We all remember sitting for hours, waiting for polish to dry, to then smudge it once trying to do something. Gel polish sets under a UV or LED lamp, meaning it is fully dry by the time you leave your seat. You just have to choose which colour you want and we'll do the rest. Nails are filed and shaped, cuticles tidied and the gel polish is applied. You can choose to have them plain or add glitter, or additional art work applied.
