I’m a beginner nail tech offering affordable but high-quality nail services from home - perfect for students and anyone wanting cute, clean nails on a budget. My services include BIAB overlays, gel polish, simple nail art, and more. As I'm still building my skills, my prices are lower than salon rates, but every set still gets full prep and attention to detail, as I always try to bring your nail visions to life. Whether you're after low-maintenance BIAB, tidy toes, or a fresh mani for a night out, there's something for you.

Includes cuticle care, shaping, buffing, and a relaxing hand massage. Finished with plain gel polish for a clean, healthy look and long-lasting shine.

Manicure with Gel Polish

Natural Nails

A long-lasting colour application on natural nails. This includes nail shaping, cuticle care, and your choice of plain gel polish.
This is perfect if you’re after a clean, glossy look, but doesn’t reinforce or protect the nails like BIAB does, so it’s best suited for naturally strong nails. It typically lasts around 2–3 weeks, depending on your nail type and lifestyle, and will need regular reapplication to stay fresh.
Please note: Because this isn’t a structured gel service, only simple nail art is offered with gel polish.

Gel Polish Application

A gel polish application on natural nails. Includes nail shaping, cuticle care, and your choice of plain gel colour for a glossy, long-lasting finish.

Gel Polish with Simple Nail Art

A gentle soak off of existing gel polish from natural nails. Includes file, buff, and light cuticle tidy to keep nails healthy and clean. No new product will be applied during this service.
