Her attention to detail, creativity, and precision are unmatched. Whether you want classic elegance, bold statement nails, or intricate hand-painted art, Abi always delivers perfection. What truly sets Abi apart is her specialism in hypoallergenic nail products, making her the perfect choice for anyone with sensitive skin or allergies. She carefully selects high-quality, skin-friendly brands to ensure her clients not only get beautiful nails but also a safe and comfortable experience. Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she also makes every appointment a great experience. She’s professional, friendly, and truly passionate about her work, which shows in every set she creates. Her knowledge of nail care ensures that my nails stay healthy and strong, even with frequent appointments. Abi is an absolute gem in the nail industry, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my nails.

About
I am a fully qualified nail technician specialising in a prescription manicure approach! Using gel polish, builder gels and hard gels🫧
Based in Axbridge, Somerset.
Info
You’re in the drivers seat when choosing what to do to your body! It can be overwhelming to see so many options and clients can end up choosing a treatment not best suited to them due to this. I want you to be informed when making your appointment and make the right choice for you!
There are many things to consider when choosing your nail treatment such as, • Is this a one off set? • Do I want to grow my nails? • How long do I need the product to last? And many more!
I work with a prescription manicure technique meaning once you make an appointment you’ll have some consultation forms to complete before we meet and I will do an assessment within your first appointment and discuss questions with you. From this I can cater your treatment to your hands! Everyone uses their hands differently and has a different make up, so every person will require a slightly different make up of products!
The three main treatments are Builder gel, Classic gel and Hard gel. When booking for the first time please look at the information below. Feel free to contact me through Facebook (Nails by Abi) or Instagram (abibcnails) to discuss options in more detail.
I use two products under the builder gel title: • Classic Builder gel: Truebuild • Rubber Base Builder gel: Truefoundation
These soft gels are used to build structure to your nails, which will protect them as they grown. They have slightly different qualities but are both used in the same way. One is harder and one has more flexibility. The decision on which to use is based on your consultation forms and an assessment.
It is recommended to be removed professionally but as this is a soft soakable (in acetone) gel, it can be removed at home. I have gel removal kits available if you’re unable to book in for a removal.
I have three different types of hard gel that differ in strength.
The main difference between hard and builder gel is hard gel is non soak off, this means it cannot be soaked off with acetone. This is great for clients who’s nail lift due to water and/ or are very heavy handed and need that extra strength.
For structured gel (builder and hard gel) as your nails grow, this structure moves meaning there is an element of upkeep when using these products. I recommend 3-4 weekly appointments. You must go to a licensed nail technician to have this removed (serious damage can be caused by ripping off at home).
This treatment is best for individuals who wish to grow their nails and/ or add strength.
This is a simple layer of colour with a small structure giving more strength to your natural nails (not as much as builder or hard gel) . It’s lifespan will range from person to person based in their lifestyle and the condition of their nails at the time of treatment.
There is a variety of bases (applied underneath the gel colour) meaning we can elongate the lifespan of the gel based on the condition of your nails.
Gel colour needs to be soaked off with acetone each time. You can either do this at home or come back to the salon for this. I offer soak off’s of my own work free when you book in for a new set of Classic gel - I have home kits available instead if you are unable to come back for a removal. Once removed properly you can either have the classic gel applied again or go back to naked nails.
This treatment is best for individuals who would like their nails done for a one off occasion or already have strong and healthy nails.

This product is recommended to be infilled every 3-4 weeks or removed by a professional as it is a non soak off product, meaning it can’t be removed safely at home. I do use a thick base coat so we would soak off the thin layer after debunking rather than filling it all off.
I offer 3 types of HONA hard gel, Express, Core and Fiber.
Each of these has its own unique strength and use, meaning it’s great for many different nail types.
Hard gel is a great option if: • You wash your hands a lot • Have young children • Have nails longer than 1/3 of your finger tip • Heavy handed
This is only for hard gel I have applied, I cannot work over other technicians work. If prior removal needed please add this to your service

Please add this extra 30 minutes to your treatment to ensure we have enough time to give you the optimum support. If you don’t feel 30 minutes is enough time please reach out and I will do what I can to extend this :)
