Gel Extensions

Gel extensions create permanently shiny incredibly transparent natural looking nails. Layers of soft gel are brushed onto your natural nail and tip which is then hardened under a UV light to form a hard casing, ensuring long lasting beautiful natural looking nails.

Advantages of using Gels;

I use the market leading Gels and Acrylic products. The Gels I use look natural and will last upto 3 weeks. It is very unlikely to experience peeling before this time, but should this happen then contact me and I will infill for free.

Acrylic Extensions

A mixture of a polymer powder and a liquid monomer. The mixture starts to harden in 30-40 seconds after application and continues to cure to final hardness typically for more than an hour. It is very important that Acrylic's are applied correctly or the end result can look unatual and thick. There are many horror stories from unexperienced Nail Technician's applying these incorrectly that can have a serious impact on the health of the nail. I take upmost care to ensure that these are applied perfectly and the nail is left looking beautiful.

Artificial nails help conceal or fix broken, damaged, short, or bad nails. It also helps prevent people from biting their nails, breakage of nails, and protect splits. They are used when people are not able to grow the length and strength of natural nails that they desire. This problem can be solved by using certain nail techniques such as nail tipping, sculptured nails, nail wrapping, or acrylic overlays.
