Yet another great job by my fantastic nail technician Amy. This girl is great at what she does - would not hesitate to recommend her.

I had my first appointment last night with Amy. I booked in for a foreign removal, fresh biab and gel colour. I was no longer happy with the results I was getting from my existing nail technician so I knew it was time to change. I am so pleased with the service and results Amy achieved on my first visit to her lovely home studio. So much so I have already booked my next two appointments. First time choosing the cat eye affect too. And I love it. Thank you Amy.

I had a lovely visit with Amy to have gel toes removal and new French gel toes applied. Amy has a beautiful studio and is a very friendly person. My nails look amazing too, highly recommend!

About
Nail Technician specialising in Biab and Gel Polish. Trained at the renowned Naf! School in Glasgow. Certified by The Gel Bottle Inc.
Based at my Home Nail Studio in Blantyre.
Info
Certified by The Gel Bottle Inc
GEL POLISH MANICURE BIAB E-FILE
Biab stands for Builder in a Bottle and is an official trademark of The Gel Bottle Inc.
It is a gel like nail polish that's applied to natural nails to add strength. It can be worn on its own, or as a base for colour or nail art such as a French Tip or Chrome.
It can help strengthen weak or brittle nails and can be great for nail biters to help grow your natural nails.
It is cured under a UV/LED lamp to create a hard durable finish to the nail.
Due to the durability of the biab if looked after properly with the correct aftercare you can expect 3 to 4 weeks from a biab manicure.
Biab is a professional only product and should only be applied by a certified nail technician.
Please follow these aftercare instructions in order to get the best from your manicure.
Cuticle Oil - make sure to oil your cuticles 2/3 times a day to help keep them soft and hydrates as well as helping the longevity of your manicure.
NO PICKING! - Picking your enhancements will not only damage your natural nails but ruin the look of your manicure. If you have any lifting or breaking (withing the first few days) contact me for a repair or book in for an infill/rebalance.
Wear Gloves - When using chemicals (cleaning products, hair dye, fake tan etc) wear gloves to protect your enhancements. Also when doing heavy handed jobs such as gardening or DIY no one wants chips!! (Unless they come with salt and vinegar!)
And lastly....
Enjoy your beautiful nails. Take some "nailfies" and make sure to tag me @nailstudiobyamy.
And remember nails are JEWELS NOT TOOLS! Look after them and make sure to book your next manicure to keep them looking fabulous! 😘
