Nail Enhancements
Did you know there are four ways I can give you beautiful nails!
Brisa Gel
Brisa is a hard gel that is used for creating beautiful extensions and is infilled every 2-3 weeks
Plexigel
Plexigel is a brush in a bottle gel, in two styles we have Shaper which is used to mend breaks and splits in the natural nail, create short enhancements or overlays. Builder is there to create longer enhancements. Plexigel can be infilled or soaked off.
Xtensions
Xtensions are full tip enhancements that are great for one off sets for holidays, parties, weddings etc, that can last up to 4 weeks and can be either infilled or soaked off.
Shellac
Shellac is a gel colour coating that provides a little extra strength to natural nails but gives all nails a beautiful finish and comes in over 250 colours.
What are Gel Nails?
Please read this if you need help with understanding the difference between Gel Nails and a Gel Polish Manicure.
GEL NAIL ENHANCEMENTS
Gel nails, (Like acrylic nails) add durability, length and strength to help prevent breakage for long, weak or thin nails.
They are created by applying layers of Builder Gel to your natural nails - sculpted or with tips glued on for length.
Each layer of the Gel cures under an LED Lamp for 1 minute.
Warning: Some salons offer “Powder Gels” there is no such thing!
When a salon offers powder Gels, they are usually applying acrylic nails with a gel polish top coat for shine.
This is not a true gel nail service!
For colour or finishing, you can apply Gel polish over Gel nails.
GEL POLISH MANICURE
Gel Manicures, or Gel Polish Manicures, are for natural nails.
A Gel manicure is the same as a regular manicure, only using a gel polish to finish.
Some brand names you see for gel polish are “Shellac” “The GelBottle” “Gellux” etc. They are all nail polishes made from curable gel substances but sold and labelled by different manufacturers.
The Gel polish is applied similar to traditional polish, but it cures under a LED lamp.
Like regular nail polish, Gel polishes are for colour and shine only.
They should never be applied to an extended tip without first adding Builder Gel to secure the extended length.
