Best Manicures near me in Hardwick, Cambridge

Nail technicians tend to start a manicure with a warm water hand soak, which soften the skin and nails. They then file, buff, and clean the cuticle, massage your hands with a moisturising cream, and apply a base coat of polish, before finishing with a layer of colour, top coat, and cuticle oil. Standard nail polish is left to dry naturally; shellac and gel polishes are cured under a UV lamp; acrylic nails cure in the natural air.

A regular manicure uses standard nail polish that dries in air. A gel manicure uses a UV/LED-cured gel polish that lasts 2–3 weeks without chipping. Gel is more durable and longer-lasting but requires soaking off for removal.
