Natural Nails - Gel
- Just a standard gel base coat.
Good for?- Short nails or longer nails which are naturally strong.
- If you’ve had gel before & know it lasts without chipping or lifting.
How long will it last?- As standard, we say it lasts between 2-4 weeks (dependent on the aftercare)
How to remove it?- You can book for a gel removal with me, it soaks off with acetone.

What should I book?- Natural nail base & nail art or colour.
- Book for a gel removal if needed.
BIAB
- A thicker base coat made out of soft gel that is applied on your natural nails length.
What’s the different lengths?- Different lengths require different amount of product so the price reflects that.
- See below what your length is.
- Short - medium length ideally.
- If you’ve had gel before and find it chips or lifts then this might be a good option for you.
- If you struggle growing your nails using just gel, BIAB will be your new best friend!
- With its added thickness, it helps maintain your natural length whilst your nails grow.
- If you want to get your nails done monthly, using BIAB means you won’t need to use acetone every month to soak them off as they can be infilled for 3 months before a full removal is needed.
How long will it last?- As standard, we say it lasts between 2-4 weeks (dependent on the aftercare.)
- They will need to be infilled every 3-4 weeks. Most clients find 3 weeks is their sweet spot before they start getting wear & tear.
How to remove it?- You can book for a BIAB removal with me, it soak off with acetone.
Price range?- Starts from £55 for BIAB & a gel colour & from £70 for nail art.
- Infills are an additional £5.

Gel Extensions
- A pre-made, pre-shaped soft gel extension.
- Comes in varying lengths & shapes. (See below)
- If you want to add instant length to your nails.
- If you struggle growing your natural length & want to grow them under the extension. You can then move over to BIAB when you hit your desired length.
- Gel x are made to look like your natural nail, so they’re a great option if you want a more subtle extension look.
How long will it last?- As standard, we say it lasts between 2-4 weeks (dependent on the aftercare.) Sometimes longer if your nails grow slow, but you should always avoid letting them get too grown out to not damage your natural nails.
