How long does a gel manicure last?+
Gel manicures typically last 2–4 weeks depending on how you treat your nails day-to-day. Avoiding excessive water exposure and harsh chemicals, and using cuticle oil regularly, can extend the wear significantly.
Do I need to prepare before my appointment?+
No special prep needed! Just come with clean, bare nails (remove any old polish beforehand if you can). Avoid moisturising your hands the morning of your appointment so the polish adheres better. That's it — I'll take care of the rest!
Is gel polish bad for my nails?+
When applied and removed correctly, gel polish is perfectly safe. The key is professional removal — never peel it off! That's exactly what our soak-off removal service is for. Proper technique protects your nail bed every single time.
Can I bring my own inspo photos?+
Absolutely! Browse the colour palette on this website beforehand, or bring photos of designs you love. I'll do my best to match your vision. If I don't have a specific colour in stock yet, just let me know — I'm always expanding the collection!
How far in advance should I book?+
I recommend booking at least 2–3 days in advance to secure your preferred slot, especially on weekends. For special occasions or elaborate designs, try to book 1–2 weeks ahead so we have plenty of time to plan everything perfectly.
Glossy or matte — what's the difference?+
Glossy top coat gives your nails that classic, high-shine look. Matte top coat creates a modern, velvety finish that's super trendy right now. Both are included in our gel services — just let me know your preference at your appointment!
