A trip to the nail salon can be a daunting experience with the range of nail treatments now offered. However, it is reassuring to know for the nail and beauty lovers out there that we are able to get the colour and finish of the nail we desire.

Basic Manicure

One that many of us will be familiar with, a basic/standard manicure is an understated and classy look. With a focus on ensuring any dead skin is removed and the nails are perfectly shaped, the practitioner will then paint the nails often with a block colour of your choice. A basic manicure is quick to apply and lasts up to 7 days in excellent condition depending on how much soap and water the nails come into contact with. Once the varnish starts to chip, it can simply be removed at home with nail varnish remover.

Gel Manicure

A gel manicure is a little more expensive than a standard manicure. This is because longer lasting gel polish is also applied, gel nails can last up to 3 weeks which is great for those of us going on holiday or simply don’t want to be at the nail salon every week. To remove gel nails, it’s recommended to get it removed at the salon using a solution, this will ensure the nail stays healthy and no damage is caused. 

French Manicure

A French manicure is one of the first nail art designs to the market. It accentuates the natural look of the nail by using natural colours that are matched to your nail. Focusing on a high quality finish, the practitioner will take care in shaping your nail and cuticles. For a modern twist on the classic French manicure, you can also add different colours or try the design reversed so the pop of colour is at the base of your nail. 

Acrylic Nails

Acrylic nails use a process whereby liquid monomer and powder polymer are applied to the nail. This leaves a sleek finish to the nail where chips and damages to the nail are very rare. To remove the nails, they have to be soaked in acetone. 

Shellac Manicure

Shellac is a hybrid nail polish type that combines the ease of application like a standard manicure, but also lasts for up to 3 weeks. It’s best not to remove shellac yourself however by opting for this nail treatment, you will benefit from a high quality look and long lasting varnish.

Paraffin Wax Manicure

Our hands have to deal with many chemicals and exposure to the elements so it’s vital we take care of them to ensure they are looked after and kept in good condition. A paraffin wax manicure is an excellent way to do this, the technician essentially applies a glove to your hands with several layers of warm wax underneath. The wax is extremely moisturising and often contains essential oils such as tea tree and aloe vera. 

Hot Oil Manicure

A hot oil manicure is considered to be one of the best treatments on the market to take care of our nails which is sometimes needed for those of us who have regular nail treatments. It works by submerging your nails in warm oil so the nails are in direct contact with a highly moisturising formula. The oil strengthens the nail and hydrates the surrounding skin.
