My gel service is different regular gel or “shellac”. Premium gel is used to add an overlay to your natural nails, building up strength and smoothing bumps and ridges. A dry Russian style manicure is included ensuring all your dry dead skin is exfoliated minimizing hangnails.
Structured gel manicures last 3+ weeks depending on the health of your nails and lifestyle. It is not recommended to go longer than 5 weeks.
If you have picked off your previous gel manicure or incorrectly removed them at home, expect 1-2 weeks retention until a new healthy nail grows out. Oily nail beds and thinner nails will also see less retention.
-
Avoid using your nails as tools in order to extend the life of your manicure and maintain nail health. Being in hot water for extended periods of time, using cleaning products without gloves, not using cuticle oil and cutting your nails will affect the retention.
Wear gloves during cleaning, moving, heavy work
Oil/moisturize your cuticles and hands
Be consistent with appointments (every 3-4 weeks) do not pick your gel off or your cuticles
File your nails down if they are too long in between appointments or if you have a snag do not cut them

Dazzle Dry is a nontoxic, vegan nail polish brand that is manufactured right here in the US. It is extremely quick drying (5 mins) and lasts longer than traditional polish. This is what I use for non-gel mani + pedis.
I do no work on feet with open wounds/cuts, fungal infections, extremely ingrown toenails, or extremely heavily callused feet. If you come to your appointment and have any of these problems I will not be able to work on you but you will still be charged for your appointment.
