Manicure FAQs
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.
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.
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
