Which nail treatment to book
The right appointment depends on how long you want the colour to last and how much care your nails or feet need.
- Manicure: mini, classic or luxury, from 25 to 55 minutes, finished with CND Vinylux weekly polish.
- Pedicure: mini, classic or luxury, with a foot soak, dead skin removal and a leg and foot massage on the luxury.
- Gel nails or toes: Semilac gel in 45 minutes, for up to 14 days of high-gloss wear.
- BIAB: builder gel over your natural nail, for nails that split or bend.
Polish or gel?
CND Vinylux is our standard polish. It is designed to hold for a week without chipping and comes off with ordinary polish remover, so it suits you if you like changing colour often.
Semilac gel is dry the moment you stand up and wears for up to 14 days without chipping, smudging or peeling. It suits a holiday or a busy fortnight. Book a removal rather than picking it off, as peeling can take the top layer of the nail with it.
BIAB in Bristol
BIAB is builder gel applied in a layer over the natural nail, which strengthens it while it grows. It can suit nails that split or bend rather than break. It is an £11 add-on to a gel manicure, and worth asking about at your appointment if your nails keep splitting.
