Very friendly and chatty which is something you want whilst getting your nails done, made sure I was happy with my nails before going any further. Asked what kind of colour id like for my French manicured acrylics, worth the money & 100% would recommend.

Had another lovely appointment with Laura, so grateful to be fitted into her busy schedule! In discussing ideas about what ideas I had, Laura explained what looks are achievable with gel which was really helpful for me, and I am so very happy with my smiley french manicure!

Manicure FAQs
It depends on the type of manicure you choose, but the average price of a manicure in Portobello/Craigmillar is £25.
Many nail technicians recommend once-weekly manicures to ensure your nails always look good and that your nail polish remains chip-free. However, you can get away with having manicures less often – ask your technician for their specific advice as the frequency can vary according to the nail polish used.
It depends on the type of polish used: traditional nail polish lasts about a week, acrylic nails should last between 6-8 weeks and will need a fill every 2-3 weeks to cover regrowth. Shellac and gel nails last for 2-3 weeks.
Yes. Some types of manicures do carry risks. Cuticles could be infected if they are cut, and you could suffer with dry, weak, or brittle nails if your polish isn’t correctly removed. Ask your nail technician to talk you through the risks before you book your appointment.
If you like soft hands and beautiful nails, you’ll love getting a manicure. Regular manicures can be very relaxing; they help prevent fungal nail infections and leave your nails looking polished and pristine.
It greatly depends on the type of manicure you go for. Some nail technicians suggest having a manicure once a week, however Shellac, dip powder, acrylic, and gel manicures can last a lot longer. You can leave 2-3 weeks before getting your gel or Shellac manicures filled or redone; wait 3-6 weeks between dip powder manicures; and leave 6-8 weeks before having your acrylic nail manicure redone. If in doubt, ask your technician.
There are a number of different kinds of manicures available including basic (nail polish), gel, Shellac, acrylic, dip powder, French, reverse French, American, Russian, paraffin, and hot stone
