I had a training appointment with Taryn and I'm very impressed with my nails. I am a very hands on person in my work which means my nails get chipped almost instantly despite me being careful. It's been 2 weeks and my nails are immaculate I love them do much. Getting nails done is more a treat for me than a regular thing but next time I do treat myself I would love to get Taryn to do them she did them perfectly:-)

Absolutely outstanding experience again today at The Gelly Bar! Worth travelling over an hour to come here for our wedding nails. Both Leila & Cristina’s talent is out of this world. Their ideas, knowledge and precision is second to none. They take the time to make sure everything is perfect before you leave. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thanks again girls x

Always love the way my nails are done. They last at least 3 weeks without chipping or peeling. Never found anywhere else that does them as well as Angelika.

Another great appointment with Abby the trainee, but I can't complement the whole team enough. The prices are very reasonable, and the finish is great - my gel overlays last 3-4 weeks before I get infills. The salon is wheelchair accessible, and very LGBTQIA+ friendly (I added my pronouns in the booking notes). Whether you're looking for a treat or regular appointments, I recommend The Gelly Bar to all.

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

Gel Nails FAQs
Gel nails cost between £5 and £55 in Gayfield.
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.
