Colour without extra lengthGel polish adds colour to your own nails without extending them. We file your nails into shape, tidy the cuticle area and apply thin layers of base, colour and top coat. Each layer is cured under a nail lamp. You choose the shade before we begin, so there is time to compare it with your skin tone and everyday style.Plan the right appointmentTell us if you already wear gel polish.Mention any lifting or broken corners.Ask for extra time if you want a French tip or nail art.Our usual time is for a single colour on natural nails. Removing an existing set or adding a detailed design changes the time needed. We discuss that and the total price with you first. Gel polish gives a colour finish; it does not add the structure of a builder overlay.Between visitsUse gloves for cleaning and avoid using your nails to open packaging. If a corner lifts, leave it alone and contact us about removal or repair. When you are ready for a change, we can remove the old colour and agree whether to leave your nails bare or apply a fresh shade.
