I’ve been getting my nails done by Emily at The Nail Gal for just over a year now and it’s my favourite self care thing to do. She kills it every time no matter what I ask for. It’s always lovely to chat and catch up and it’s always good vibes all round at TNG

I can’t tell you the last time I had my natural nails so long and healthy and that’s thanks to Siobhan’s expertise. She knows her stuff and I’ve been getting BIAB gel polish ever since and I’d never look at fake nails again! Thank you so much

5 stars for Maddie! She was very professional the whole time! Nails were done in an exceptionally neat and tidy way. I chose a dark colour and there was not a single spot of varnish on any of my cuticles or side skin! Quick, efficient and friendly service by Maddie! The place was also spotless - very clean, tidy and bright! My visits and experience to the Gelly Bar have always been very pleasant!

Gel Nails FAQs
Gel nails cost between £5 and £54 in Forth.
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.

They can be soaked off when your nails grow out, or when you're ready for reapply. And brands like Shellac are super shiny, as well as hardwearing, with plenty of colours to choose from.
