Gel Manicure Removal and Reapplication is a detailed nail service specifically designed for those who have an existing gel polish and are looking to refresh their nails with a new application.

The process begins with the safe and gentle removal of the old gel polish. This typically involves buffing the nail's surface to break the top coat seal and then soaking the nails in a special gel remover or using gel removal wraps. This step is crucial to ensure that the natural nail remains healthy and undamaged.

Once the old gel is completely removed, the nails are then prepped for a new application. This preparation involves cleaning, shaping, and buffing the nails, along with cuticle care to ensure a smooth base for the new gel polish.

The reapplication process mirrors that of a standard gel manicure. A base coat is applied, followed by the client's choice of gel color, and each layer is cured under a UV or LED lamp for durability and a quick, hard finish.

The AcryGel Rebalance on Natural Nails service is designed to 
maintain and refresh your existing AcryGel overlay. Over time, as your natural nails grow, the balance and structure of the AcryGel enhancement can shift, creating a need for rebalancing to restore its perfect look and function.

This service involves several steps. First, any lifted or loose areas of the old AcryGel are gently removed. The technician then files down and reshapes the existing AcryGel, focusing especially on the regrowth area near the cuticles. This process ensures that the overlay continues to adhere well to the natural nail and maintains a smooth and even surface.

After reshaping, a fresh layer of AcryGel is applied, particularly focusing on the regrowth area to seamlessly blend it with the existing enhancement. This restores the overlay's strength and structure, ensuring it looks as good as new. The overlay is then cured under a UV or LED lamp.

Nail Art as a service is a creative and personalized way to decorate and enhance nails, going beyond traditional single-color polish. This service offers an array of designs, patterns, and embellishments to create unique and artistic nail looks.

The process involves intricate work, often using tools like brushes, dotting tools, stencils, and decals. Techniques can range from simple designs like stripes and dots to more complex art such as detailed illustrations, themed decorations, or 3D elements like rhinestones and charms.

Clients can choose from a pre-existing portfolio of designs or request custom creations based on their preferences and occasions. Nail artists use various types of polish, gel, and sometimes acrylics to bring these designs to life.

Ideal for those looking to express their personality or complement an outfit for a special event, nail art transforms nails into a fashion statement.

Encapsulated Glitter Nail Service is a dazzling and sophisticated nail enhancement that involves embedding glitter into acrylic or gel to create a seamless, smooth, and shiny finish. This technique allows for a depth and dimension in nail art that is not achievable with regular glitter polish.

The process begins with the application of a base layer of clear acrylic or gel. While this layer is still tacky, fine or chunky glitter, sometimes in various colors or shapes, is carefully placed onto the nails. This can be done in a variety of patterns, from full coverage to gradient effects or specific designs.

Once the desired amount of glitter is applied, another layer of clear acrylic or gel is applied over the top. This encapsulates the glitter within the nail itself, creating a flat, smooth surface. The nails are then shaped, filed, and buffed to a high shine, ensuring the glitter is fully sealed and protected.

Hand-painted French nails are a classic and sophisticated nail art style that combines traditional elegance with the personal touch of handcrafted artistry. This style features the iconic French manicure look, known for its natural, pink base with crisp, white tips. What sets hand-painted French nails apart is the precision and customization that comes from painting the tips by hand.

Instead of using pre-designed stickers or guides, a nail technician skillfully applies the white polish on the tips freehand. This allows for more control over the thickness and shape of the tips, ensuring they complement the natural shape and size of each client's nails. The result is a more personalized and refined appearance.

Hand-painting can also involve more creative variations, like colored tips or added details such as tiny flowers, dots, or subtle glitter.

A Gel Manicure is a popular nail service known for its durability and glossy finish. It begins with the basic steps of a traditional manicure – nail shaping, cuticle care, and nail surface preparation. What sets it apart is the use of gel polish, which is applied in layers and then cured under a UV or LED lamp.

This curing process ensures that the polish is completely dry and hard immediately after application, providing a smudge-proof and chip-resistant finish. Gel manicures typically last much longer than regular polish, often up to two weeks or more without fading or peeling.

The range of colors and finishes available in gel polish is vast, allowing for a variety of styles, from simple and elegant to intricate and decorative designs. Removal of gel polish requires soaking in a special remover, as it adheres strongly to the nail.

The Removal and Tidy service is a comprehensive treatment focused on safely removing product and tidying up the natural nails underneath. This service is essential for clients who wish to remove their product overlays and give their natural nails a break or prepare them for a new nail treatment.

The process begins with gently buffing the surface of the product to break the top coat seal. This is followed by wrapping the nails in a special solution, typically acetone-based, to soften the product. The nails are then carefully wrapped, allowing the solution to work on dissolving the overlay.

After an appropriate amount of time, the wraps are removed, and the softened product is gently scraped off the nail with a specialized tool. Care is taken to ensure the natural nail is not damaged during this process.

Once the product is completely removed, the natural nails are cleaned, shaped, and buffed to a smooth finish. The service concludes with the application of a nourishing cuticle oil a.
