FAQ

  • What is a structured gel manicure

    A method of adding strength, structure and balance to natural nails using a gel overlay. This method is perfect for creating long lasting manicures and preserving the length of natural nails.

  • Which gel brand do you use?

    I am proud to be a fully qualified Biosculpture Nail Technician.

    A brand renowned for its focus on maintaining and promoting natural nail health. Their gel products are vegan, cruelty free and do not contains dehydrators, primers or bonders.

    I use all their premium bases to give a bespoke nail service to my clients depending on their nail needs.

  • How long should my treatment last?

    With the correct aftercare, gel manicures should last approximately 21 days/3 weeks. After this period, I recommend booking in for a refresh and rebalance.

  • Will gel treatments ruin my nails?

    No. That is the true & simple answer. Gel treatments when applied and removed correctly, will not harm your nails. Coupled with the correct aftercare steps, you can have healthy nails with regular gel manicures.

  • Do you work with acrylic?

    No. I am a fully qualified gel manicurist and that is the medium I love to work with. Gels offer the same strength and length as acrylics so you do not have to worry.

  • Do my nails need to breathe?

    Nope! Fortunately, our nails and toes do not have lungs and therefore do not need to breathe. It is okay to take breaks form regular manicures if you want to, but never let the reason be becasue “your nails need to breathe”
