Gel Polish

Gel Polish manicure: what’s included

A Gel Polish appointment focuses on creating an even, durable colour finish while keeping natural nails looking tidy.

• Nail shaping to your preferred length and style
• Cuticle tidy and surface prep to help the gel polish adhere evenly
• Base coat, colour layers and top coat, cured under LED/UV light
• High-shine finish that dries instantly and resists chipping better than regular polish
• Guidance on aftercare so the colour stays glossy and the edges stay sealed

Gel Polish that suits busy diaries and last-minute plans

If you need nails that are ready straight away, gel polish is ideal. There is no waiting for layers to dry, so you can leave without worrying about dents, smudges or fabric marks. It is also a popular option for holidays and special occasions where you want consistent colour in photos.

How Gel Polish is applied for a smooth, lasting finish

The key to long wear is in the prep. Nails are shaped, the cuticle area is tidied, and the nail plate is lightly prepared so the product sits flat and bonds well. Colour is then applied in thin layers and cured between coats to lock in shine and reduce early lifting.

Keeping gel polish looking neat, plus safe removal

To help gel polish last, wear gloves for cleaning, avoid using nails as tools, and use cuticle oil to keep the surrounding skin comfortable. When it is time for a change, professional removal is recommended to avoid peeling or scraping, which can thin the natural nail. You can then reapply a fresh set of colour straight after removal if you wish.
