Great gel nail removal. Sometimes technician are a little heavy handed and damage the nail when scraping off the gel polish. Not here, it was a very gentle touch and my nails were clean and undamaged in no time. Very much recommend this service!

My second time visiting the store and getting my nails done by April (aka cherry bomb). As someone with autism and anxiety they make me feel so at ease and comfortable. Friendly atmosphere run by beautiful souls, enough to make any rainy day feel sunny.

Jasmine was great the gel removal and manicure was good. Only thing is I wasn’t sure re tool used to remove gel as it’s usually different. The glitter on gels is nice but it’s catching a bit on some nails which is slightly irritating.

Amazing leg & foot massage!!! I’ve been having sciatica and had terrible pains recently. Jasmine was absolutely brilliant & I’m definitely booking in for a full body massage as she’s a clearly brilliant massage therapist. It was a v hot day but downstairs was so cool and a lovely cool gel pad was placed to rest your face. Faultless.

Danielle (from Wellington!!) was fantastic from helping me choose festive red to giving me quite possibly the best gel finish I've ever had. Danielle was funny, happy, cheerful and sociable. A credit to the salon. See you soon, thank you!

Gel nails are called ‘two-week nails’ because you're guaranteed long-lasting results with a gel manicure. While polish from regular manicures can chip inside a week, gel nail colour can last up to 3 to 4 weeks with the right care.

Shellac is one of the popular brands to look out for. Book gel nails in Forest Hill on Fresha’s mobile app, where booking your next manicure or gel nails removal only takes a few taps.

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