Another amazing appointment with Charlotte. Yet again delivering a design I wasn't even sure would be possible but she smashed it and my nails look unreal! 

Such a great first time experience - already rebooked and can’t wait for my next appointment 

Lovely appointment, let me pick a playlist, did the exact design I asked for on my nails and nothing was too big of an ask. I was offered a coffee and read my kindle for most of the appointment which was so comfortable and relaxing. Definitely a new regular client!

This treatment includes:
- filing back the top coat and buffering the nails to be smooth to reapply builder gel, to support your nail regrowth. Finished with a basic gel colour of your choice, or keep it clean with just a clear/nude builder gel.
- optional to add extras such as minimal or signature nail art and gems

Please note I do not remove builder gel applied someone else without a consent form completed in advance, please message me on instagram about this.

Nor do I infill builder gel that hasn’t been applied by me. This is due to me not knowing what products have been used and I do not want to risk causing any damage to your nails or cause a reaction/irritation. Please book for a Removal and fresh set.

Builder Gel Manicure 

Mini manicure included, nail prep and application of nude builder gel. I have a collection of different nude tones to compliment your skin tones. 

I use nail order products. 

Nail Order full cover tips are made from soft gel rather than ABS plastic, this gives added strength whilst also being able to be soaked off as well as infilled with builder gel to support natural nail growth.

This treatment is perfect for those that want long nails straight away, but the benfits of builder gel.

This treatment requires commitment, meaning regular infills are required to maintain nails health and insuring enough strength is in place to maintain the nails to avoid breakages. Infills are recommended every 2-3 weeks with the max of 2 infills before a soak off and fresh set needs to be applied (does vary from each person) 

Please note if you’re wishing to book this service with nail art you may not see my availability to book - please drop me a message on Instagram or request to be added to the waiting list and I’ll book you in on my side.

Manicure

A patch test is essential to ensure your safety and comfort during gel polish or builder gel treatments. This patch test is ideal for anyone who has experienced a previous reaction to gel products and would like to try them again without the risk. During the test, I will apply gel polish on one nail and builder gel on another to check for any allergic reactions.

This quick and simple test must be done at least 48 hours before your appointment to ensure you’re not sensitive to any of the ingredients. It’s a crucial step to provide you with a safe and enjoyable experience at The Studio Nail Box.

If any reaction or discomfort occurs within 48 hours, I’ll offer a free removal on my next available day or guide you through the removal process so you can safely do it at home.

Please book your patch test on Thursday or Friday, as there is more chance I can do the removal at the weekend if needed due to working longer hours. Any questions drop me a instagram message.
