I had such a wonderful pamper with Amelia, it was just what I needed! I had gel nails done with nail art, Amelia was so helpful in choosing colours as there were so many beautiful colours to choose from and to top it off I had added sparkles ✨ with her nail art. They look so beautiful! I also had a dermaplane facial and the whole experience from start to finish was pure relaxation, the steam at the start was so soothing and Amelia is so gentle with the facial and dermaplane. My other favourite part was the finish with icey globes, I could have laid there all day! I highly recommend!!

Lovely gel toes with Millie who was so gentle and did a great job. Then Sophie nailed my request for something feminine for my natural nails. She matched my toe colour to some other complimentary shades and handpainted flowers all over. I can't stop looking at them. She looked at a few challenges I've been having since switching from acrylics to natural nails and applied a few application tricks to rectify them.

Gel Nails FAQs
Gel nails cost between £4.50 and £37 in Portsmouth.
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.
