THE BASIC ONE
THE BASIC ONE
The Basic One
is a gel polish manicure gives you a chip free manicure for 2+ weeks. As it is cured under UV light you will leave with a dry and functional manicure. No waiting for it to dry, and no chance of it smudging! Although some clients can get up to 6 weeks wear out of their manicure, the polish wasn’t designed to stay on the nail this long, and I advise to have it removed or replaced at 2-3 weeks. As picking it off can cause damage to your natural nail please book in for a removal or pick up a gel polish removal kit at your appointment.
The Basic One – gel polish manicure consists of e-filing off previous product, prepping the natural nail by shaping it, tidying up the cuticles, applying a single colour gel polish of your choice and a delicious hot towel followed by application of cuticle oil and hand cream to hydrate and nourish your hands.

BUILDER GEL MANICURE
A builder gel manicure provides a lot of strength and structure to the nail and is perfect for those who are very hard on their nails, find gel normally chips or their nails break with gel on and also for those who are used to Dip or Acrylic. I use Light Elegance semi hard and hard gels to create structure and strength to give longer wear and less breakage. This is especially important to maintain long natural nails without splitting or breaking. After the first appointment your hard manicure can be infilled and rebalanced instead of soaked off at each appointment making it a great choice for those who have issues soaking their nails in acetone. A single gel colour is included and builder gels come in a beautiful range of nudes to suit your skintone making it a perfect base for french or nail art.
The Classic One
is for nails where the length brushes the tip of the finger and when looking at the hands from palm side is not visible or is only just visible.
The Confident One
is for nails where the length of the nail sits up to 5mm above the fingertip when looking at the hands from the palm side.
The Iconic One
is for nails where the length of the nail sits from 5-10mm above the fingertip when looking at the hands from the palm side.
The Fierce One
is for nails where the length of the nail sits from 10-15mm above the fingertip when looking at the hands from the palm side.

EXTENSIONS
EXTENSIONS
Express Extensions
Also known as Full Cover Tips or Soft Gel Extensions last for 3 weeks, and soak off just like gel polish making them perfect for a special occasion like a wedding, birthday, photoshoot or school balls. When removed correctly there will be no damage to your natural nails.
The full cover tips are customised to your nail shape for a perfect fit and applied with a special gel for a secure bond that will last up to 3 weeks. A gel polish colour of your choice is then used to complete your manicure and nail art can be added. These type of extensions are not designed to be infilled or rebalanced.
Hard Gel Extensions
Hard gel is an alternative to Acrylic or L&P extensions. It has better adhesion than acrylic, the same level of strength but isn’t as brittle which means it acts like a shock absorber, protecting your nail when you bang or hit it. All extensions are sculpted using forms so can be infilled indefinitely. They will only need to be removed and re-sculpted if you choose to have extreme shapes as the structure of extreme shapes will grow out with the nail, but we do not soak off, simply file down and back and resculpt. Hard gel cannot be soaked off, it is a file off only product and it is highly stain resistant. When you come back for your infill appointments please book a structured manicure rather than extensions. To book sculpted extensions please choose your ideal nail length service in the builder gel section, and then add Add Some Length to your service.

PEDICURES
PEDICURES
I’ve always felt that a pedicure should be a luxurious, pampering experience, so all pedicure services include a foot scrub. Pedicures include a shape and tidy of the toenail, and are finished with a gel polish colour of your choice. Gel polish is hard wearing and most clients find they get 4+ weeks from a pedicure service, generally every second manicure will require a pedicure service if you’re a mani-pedi person. I perform a dry pedicure as it is more hygienic, and although there is no soak there is still all of the pampering. I do not perform callus/corn removal or shaving within my pedicures.

PRODUCT REMOVAL
All nail products I use are designed to be infilled therefore full removal is only required if you are changing services or wanting to leave with naked nails. Please book for The Bare One and add Product Removal on if this is the case.
I can remove SNS, dip manicures or extensions applied by other techs but this may incur extra fees if this is overly time consuming or is an MMA based product that destroys my files and bits. I also will not guarantee the state of the nails underneath or that product may be able to be reapplied to them. This is depended on their condition and health.
I cannot work on any nails with open wounds or showing signs of inflammation, pus, fungus, bacteria or infection.
AFTERCARE
To get the best out of your service and care for your nails it is important you follow the aftercare.
- Use cuticle oil daily
- No oil or extended periods in water 12 hours before your service or 24 hours after your service
- Wear gloves when using chemicals, washing up or gardening
- Avoid prolonged periods of high heat and/or moisture (sunbeds, spas, saunas) and if you are going to risk it then use cuticle oil liberally 10 minutes before and immediately after
- Wash hands thoroughly after coming into contact with chlorine, insect repellant or sunscreen
- Nails are jewels, not tools. Using them to pick at things will cause the edges to chip or lift
- Don’t pick, bite, nibble or suck your nails (this counts as prolonged exposure to water)
- Filing your nail can cause it to lift
- If your polish/enhancement lifts you need to book in for a removal/repair as water and bacteria can get in and get trapped between the nail and the gel/enhancement causing damage/fungus/infection
- Do not pick your gel polish/enhancement off. This will take a layer of your nail with it and cause damage. Have your nails removed professionally
