Nail enhancements have come a long way. Having an idea of which product is available can give you a better idea of what is suitable for your nails.
GEL POLISH
Formally known as Shellac. Gel Polish is an instant drying polish which requires curing under a UV light. For ladies with strong natural nails, Gel Polish is great as it is more longer lasting than general laquer. As a standalone product, it is considered the most kindest to your nails causing the least damage to your nail plate. It does not, however, give nails additionnal strength. The product is long lasting but is the easiest to chip compared to other enhancements.
If your natural nails is short and require extending, it is more advisable to have Acrylic Nails to extend and then have Gel Polish on top.
ACRYLIC NAILS
Hard wearing and can be extended to any length required. By mixing powder and monomer, any nail shape can be created including Squared, Round, Square Round, Coffin, Pointed or Almond shaped.
Although they are hard wearing, you still need to protect them by wearing protective gloves. They are tough but durability would depend on your nail bed. Your technician will advise you whilst working on you how to take care of your nails.
Acrylic is the strongest but can cause the most damage to your nail plate.
SNS DIPPING ACRYLIC
Acrylic Nails have always been the first choice to extend nails, Dipping Acrylic is now on the rise. With the use of resin, the product is applied and dipped into coloured acrylic. It dries instantly and remains glossy for weeks.
Less drilling is involved which mean less damage to the nail plate. SNS Dipping Powder offers a great alternative for ladies who believe Gel Polish is too soft and Acrylic is too harsh.
BIAB GEL NAILS
BIAB Nails short for Builder In A Bottle, is a form of gel product that requires curing under a LED lamp. The product is similar to Gel Polish but is tougher and can be used to extend the form of your nails to a longer length. Where Gel polish is great for nails that are already strong, with weaker nails, it can be more prone to chipping. This is where BIAB Comes to the rescue.
BIAB is tougher than general Gel Polish. Because the product itself is more thicker in consistency, it makes it tougher. This is great for strengthening as well as lengthening. The product comes in its own choice of colours if you find the colours limiting then it can always be combined with general Gel Polish as an option to have colours that is not available on the swatch.
Sometimes our hands and feet just require that little bit of love and care. Overgrown cuticles, unshaped nails, dry or hard skin, this treatment will help with all lthe troubles listed with massage and hot towel treatment on top.
We take care of your hands and feet helping them not only while you are in the salon, but for the following visit too.
Launching in July, the newest form of nail enhancement is BIAB Gel Nails. A great medium for nails that are not strong enough to have just Gel Polish. Tougher than gel and can be extended also. Although extra long extension is not recommended when using this product, it still overs a greater alternative to Acrylic nails or SNS.
A great alternative that offers longer lasting brow shape without permanently applying pigment. General brow tinting allows colour to remain on the brows itself but lacks the ability to retain colour on skin. This treatment however enables the shape of the brows to remain longer on the skin by colouring the skin itself allowing shape to remain for weeks.
