Manicure – A little TLC for your hands! This service includes a hand soak, moisturising salt scrub, hand mask, cuticle tidy & file and finishes off with luxurious moisturising hand cream. This service can also include a Gel Polish application, removal or remove & reapplication
Hot Paraffin Wax – A paraffin wax “dip” or “bath” is a soothing treatment in which the hands or feet are submerged in a warm mixture of paraffin, a petroleum-based wax, and mineral oil. This warming treatment soothes aching joints and improves circulation, and the combination of oil and wax softens rough skin. This service can be added onto a manicure or pedicure or booked on its own and is amazing during the winter months or when your skin needs that little bit of love!
Pedicure – Pamper your feet with a pedicure. This service Includes dry skin removal, cuticle work, massage cream and cuticle oil. Gel Polish, removal or remove & reapplication can also be added
Gel Polish – Gel polish can last up to six times longer than a standard polish manicure! Gel polish is instantly dry, super shiny and looks amazing when professionally applied. With morte than 500+ colours to choose from including many, many glitters and art choices i will definitely have the perfect colour for you! This service can be booked as a fresh application, Removal on its own or a removal & reapplication.
Builder In A Bottle– If your nails need that little bit of extra strength or you’re rough with your hands then this may be the perfect addition to your gel polish! 2 layers of stronger brush on builder can be added to a gel polish service to help you get the most out of your beautiful colour.
Acrylic Nails – Acrylic can be applied to the nails in a few different ways. You can add a thin layer to your natural nails for added strength (a lot more than Builder In A Bottle!) and this is called an Acrylic Overlay, you can slightly extend your nails to make them a more desirable length, or you can create long, or even extreme lengths depending on your desired outcome – these are called Acrylic Extensions. Gel Polish is then applied over the filed and shaped acrylic to give the perfect finish.
Acrylic nails require maintenance – this varies depending on your natural nail growth, original length and extended length. Maintenance appointments range between 2-4 weeks. Acrylic must be maintained and removed professionally to prevent unwanted damage to your nails. If acrylic is pulled, bitten or incorrectly removed or not maintained then you may find your nails become damaged and weak – definitely not what we want! Its always advisable to make sure you book 1 or 2 maintenance appointments in advance to make sure you look after your beautiful new nails.
Hard gel is applied to the nail straight from the pot (no mix ratio required) and each layer is cured under a UV or LED light. The curing process, called polymerization, creates a strong, compact polymer that solvents can’t penetrate-which means hard gel can only be removed by filing. After curing, a tacky film of uncured gel, called the inhibition layer, is left and must be removed with nail cleanser.
Gel-X Tips – Gel-X Tips is the worlds first soft gel nail extension system. Gel-X tips and extend gel are manufactured from soft gel formulas and are applied as a full cover tip to your natural nails for added strength or additional length as extensions.
Apres Gel-X tips have more flexibility than acrylic and are a lot thinner in appearance. These nails are a perfect option for those want longer nails with flexibility or for those who have found that acrylic isn’t suitable for their nail beds. Apres Gel-x nail tips are designed to be worn and then soaked off after around 3-4 weeks. I have had success in extending the life of these extensions by infilling with a brush on builder gel, however this isn’t recommended more than once as the structure can be lost.
Gel polish can be applied over the top of your Apres Gel-X for the same shiny durable finish.
IBX is a natural nail strengthening system made to Toughen, Repair and Protect the natural nail.IBX is HEMA Free,IBX is the first treatment of its kind, IBX works INSIDE the nail not on top. IBX is penetrated into the upper layers of the nail and cross-links inside the nail to itself creating an Interpenetrating Polymer Network.
Well I wouldn’t be a nail artist if I didn’t offer a lot of different nail art choices! There are so many options to choose from I probably couldn’t list them all! I can do all the basic nail art including marble designs, chrome powder finish, transfers & decals, stamping designs, airbrushing, ombre, french finish, 3D/4D hand made flowers and bows, crystals, hand drawn designs & foils.
Nail art is always evolving and new techniques pop up all the time! I like to keep up with the latest trends and if I cant teach myself, then I’ll invest in a course!
I am always happy to create a bespoke design based on an outfit or occasion too so feel free to contact me if there is something specific you’d like to have.
**Please note that Nail Art is an added extra on top of all services and must be added at the time of booking to ensure there is enough time available. If this service is not added on or you haven’t contacted me beforehand then I cannot guarantee that I will be able to fulfill your design requirements and I’d hate to leave you disappointed on the day!**

•Wear gloves when washing up/ using cleaning products and gardening.
•Use cuticle oil daily this will keep your nails hydrated and improves nail growth.
•Do not use your nails as tools!
•Maintain your nails by attending regular appointments (no more than 3/4 weeks apart).
