I had a wonderful experience! Very friendly, and careful with work. (I was with Tu for my pedicure and she was amazing!!!). Sanitation and cleanliness was also very well done. Will come again next time I'm in Halifax!

Jasmin was so good! It was my first time getting gel nails and I totally recommend, it’s such a cool process to watch and she was great to talk to. I’m really happy with my nails and I’d definitely recommend if you’re looking to treat yourself!! Oh, and if you’re going for the first time it’s through the side door, not the front one lol

I took advantage of the October special and what a treat! Pedicure, Gel manicure with nail art and a facial! Terra was very kind, detailed and professional. I have already received several compliments from strangers on how beautiful my French manicure nails are. I told them to go see Terra at Pride!

I had a lovely gel manicure with Julien! They were very careful with my poor nails (after an at home gel nail removal) and did a great job. Everything was clean and very welcoming, and the folks were so friendly! 10/10 :)

I always have the best time when at pride! Everyone is so kind and friendly, after taking a little break from services all of the team was welcoming and sweet with no judgement for taking time off from refills. My pedicure was with Britney who always has me leaving with a beautiful set of nails or toes and many laughs throughout the appointment. I love coming here and being in this environment!!

My daughter and I got our nails done tonight! Her first time ever, my first time in years and I could not be more impressed. My daughter is almost 8 so her nails are small but they turned out beautifully, I got French tips done by hand and they are stunning. I can’t stop looking at my hands! Highly recommend!!

Gel Nails FAQs
Gel nails cost between $5 and $70 in Halifax.
Once you’ve had gel nails applied, they should remain chip-free for between 2-3 weeks.
Although gel manicures look beautiful, they can cause your natural nails to become brittle. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that repeated use of gel nails can increase the risk of skin cancer and the premature ageing of skin on the hands.
Gel and shellac nails both cure under UV light, but their composition is different. Gel nail polish is a lacquer made from acrylic monomers and oligomers; shellac polish is part gel, part regular nail polish, and is a patented brand by Creative Nail Design (CND). Both give a high shine and long-lasting finish.
Gel nails tend to give a more natural and glossier finish than acrylic nails; they are cured under a UV lamp and last for around 2 weeks. Acrylic nails are stronger than gels and start to cure as soon as they’re exposed to air; they generally last for 6-8 weeks but will need fills after 2 weeks to hide regrowth. Both can be used to lengthen nails and both can damage your natural nails.
Once every 2 weeks. Gel nails cure (harden) in UV light; this means they continue to cure in natural sunlight. The longer you keep your polish on, the longer it cures and the harder it is to remove. To reduce the risk of stripping and damaging your nails, it’s recommended that you book in with an experienced nail technician to remove and redo your gel nail polish every 2 weeks.

Try gel nails if you want super shiny nails that last longer than a couple of days. Sometimes called a two-week manicure, gel is tougher than regular polish and is set using UV or LED light to bond the gel to your nail.
Gel colour is intensely pigmented with colours that really catch the eye. The setting process means drying is fast, allowing for the build of different colours and special effects to make your nails extra special. And the good news is that gel nails are easy to remove at home or in the salon, so switching up your style is no problem. Search the Fresha app for gel nails or Shellac nails near you.
