Pedicure was relaxing. Manicure was nice. Nails look amazing. This was the first time in year's getting my nails down. Only downside is I get anxiety when the staff whisper not in English, it makes me think they are talking about me.

Hands down the BEST nail salon ever : detailed, beautiful, incredible quality, unique arts. Anais the master technician that been doing her work for years, with amazing talents and nail art. If not Nailoshows I don’t know how would I be able to get such a clean and high level gel mani in Vancouver. I received so many compliments for my nails since I start going there. Highly recommended!

Maricar is a fantastic nail tech. She did my wedding nails and helped me come up with the perfect colours and design. She also fixed one of my nails that had broken pretty far down the nail bed. I love that all the products are vegan. The only nail salon I'll go to in Vancouver!

They are amazing. I used to rarely want to go to a salon, but I feel very comfortable coming here, and will be going back regularly. I had Tamara do my nails with the apres gel, and my nails have never looked this good before. Highly recommend this place ♡

I was looking for a New West salon to apply hard gel on my natural nails with lots of cuticle attention. Euronails looked just right for that, Olina did a lovely job with my nails. Looking forward to my next visit ☺️

I've been going to Posy Nails since 2019. For Vancouver downtown, they have the very good prices, amazing customer service, and the ones that do nail art can really get it on point. Jolie was my go to nail tech precovid, and now I've started to go to Lyn. They'll offer you advice on what shape will look good. Highly recommended!

Best manicure I’ve ever had. It’s been a month now and aside from my nails (obviously) growing out, the polish is still pristine. I got white nail art done on a natural base colour with Biogel. 110% recommend.

Gel Nails FAQs
Gel nails cost between $10 and $85 in Vancouver.
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.
