What are gel nails?
Gel nails are a long-lasting manicure where a coloured gel polish is applied to the natural nail and cured under a UV or LED lamp. The result is a chip-resistant, glossy finish that's significantly more durable than standard polish. Gel is applied thinly to keep the natural look and feel of your nails.
Gel is one of our most popular nail services for clients who want everyday polish that holds up to busy lives.
