Gel polish is a revolutionary light-cured polish formula that can last an unbelievable 21 days without chipping, smudging or cracking and can easily be soaked off. The polish can be dried in minutes under a UV or LED lamp, meaning you can have perfectly polished nails under 20 mins - Ideal for natural nails, but can be used over nail enhancements. Gel polish - French £25.00
Gel polish - Colour (plain) £20.00
Gel polish - colour (2 or more) £30.00
Gel polish - Glitter £27.00


Nail enhancements
It is a fact that most of us do not have the kind of nails we would like! This could be for a number of reasons including weak, brittle or bitten nails. Nail enhancements can transform your nails producing strong natural looking nails that can be worn permanently. All nail enhancements are created using NSI liquid and powder (acrylic). If you have any length to your natural nails you can have a natural nail overlay for strength. If you require extra length to your nails you can choose to have them extended using artificial nail tips. Natural nail overlay - french finish £25.00
Natural nail overlay - colour/glitter £27.00

Full set of acrylic nails - french finish £25.00
Full set of acrylic nails - colour/glitter £27.00
Full set of acrylic nails - colour/glitter (2 or more ) £30.00
Full set of acrylic nails - with gel polish £30.00
Full set of acrylic nails - with nail polish £28.00

Maintenance
To maintain the beauty and strength of your nail enhancements I advise that you have a backfill/rebalance appointment every 2-3 weeks. Any longer than that and the nails will become out of balance and may begin to suffer lifting, cracks and breakages which will cost more in repairs. The backfill/rebalance price includes two free nail repairs if necessary. Backfill/rebalance - french finish £20.00
Backfill/rebalance - colour/glitter finish £22.00
Backfill/rebalance - colour/glitter (2 or more) £25.00
Backfill/rebalance - colour change £27.00

Nail removal
A common myth is that nail enhancements should be taken off every few months to let the nail plate "breathe". There is no scientific evidence to support this notion. Nail plates do not require time to breathe, nor are they capable of breathing. Each time product is removed and reapplied, the underlying nail plate becomes thinner and weaker. This is especially true when the enhancement is picked or pried from the nail plate. Improper removal is a major reason for natural nail damage as these are not gentle techniques. Each of these techniques will rip layers of your natural nail plate. I will be able to safely remove your nail enhancements without any damage to your natural nails using professional products. Removal of acrylic nail enhancements £10.00
Removal of acrylic nail enhancements with a new set £5.00
Removal of gel polish £10.00
Removal of gel polish with a full set £5.00

Please state when booking appointment that a removal is required, as extra time will be needed. Nail extras
