Nails
Follow each step;
Step 1: Base
Natural nail, a BIAB Base or Gel Extensions.
Step 2: Add Ons (optional)
If you need an infill, removal or a silent appointment.
Step 3: Art tiers
Select if you want colour, cat eye or which level of art.
BIAB / Gel / Gel Extensions.
You can read further into what that means on ‘What Base Shall I Choose?’ in the main menu.
Have a look at my Nail Art Tiers page to see what each tier includes.
If your inspo doesn’t fall into any of the tiers, feel free to drop me a message on Instagram or email so I can guide you.
When the correct after care is followed (so no picking!) then your new nails can last 3-4 weeks.
You may be able to get a longer wear but it is recommended to never exceed more than half your nail in growth, as this can add pressure to the weakest part of your nail & cause damage.
And the longer you wear them, the higher impact they have with wear and tear.
- I use a new technology Nibovi Sonic Cleaner to properly disinfect and sanitise my tools, which has been scientifically proven to remove any nasties that could be there.
- Files and buffers are brand new for each client & disposed of at the end of the appointment.
- All work surfaces are disinfected & cleaned between each client. - The studio is hoovered & mopped every evening to minimise dust build up, I also work with the window open and an air purifier permanently switched on to keep the air fresh & clean.
Yes, I love doing pop ups, drop me an email to discuss details and rates.
Tooth Gems
- Have a rough idea of the gems you’ll want and the placement. I’ll suggest an alternative if I’m unable to do it based on your bite type and anatomy.
- Gems can’t be placed on Veneers or Composite Bonding, only natural teeth, so keep this in mind.
- You won’t be able to eat for 2 hours after your appointment, so make sure you’ve had some food before coming in. Drinking, smoking and kissing is fine to do immediately after though.
- It’s best to brush your teeth before getting your gems on as you won’t be able to brush them for 12 hours. (There’s a restroom if you want to do it just before)
- The service itself isn’t very long, but the consultation before can be, so have a few ideas ready.
- Applying tooth gems is pain free. You will be aware they’re there for the first few days, but you’ll soon become accustomed to them.
- I will be taking photos of your stunning new gems at the end of your appointment, so bring a touch up of make up if you want.
- There’s some key aftercare rituals you’ll need to follow. I’ll send you a follow up aftercare email so you’ll have it to refer back to.
- No eating for 2 hours, then try to have only soft foods for the following 12 hours (pasta, rice, jelly etc)
- Avoid hard foods, think apples, corn on the cobs, for as long as you want the gems to last.
- If you want to remove your gems, you can go to your dentist and get a scale and polish.
- Gems can last anywhere between 1 month - a year +
- I have one use disposables for Tooth Gems that are stored in a sealed container & disposed of at the end of the appointment.
- I don’t use any tools that can’t be correctly disinfected, this means no mouth guards or gem craft pens are in sight!
- All work surfaces are disinfected & cleaned between each client using Dentist grade Caviwipes. This includes any non disposables for Tooth Gems to avoid any potential cross contamination.
- The studio is hoovered & mopped every evening to minimise dust build up, I also work with the window open and an air purifier permanently switched on to keep the air fresh & clean.
