Services

BIAB Infill

1 hr£25

An infill (also known as a "fill-in" or "rebalancing") is a maintenance treatment designed to refresh a manicure as the natural nail grows out. Instead of removing the entire enhancement, the gap between the cuticle and the existing product is filled, extending the life of the manicure.
Why Infills are Necessary
As your nails grow, the "apex" (the strongest point of the nail enhancement) moves forward toward the tip. This makes the nail top-heavy and more prone to snapping or lifting. An infill restores that structural balance.

Hard gel overlay

1 hr£30

In the world of nail professional services, an Overlay is the application of a strengthening product—like hard gel, acrylic, or BIAB—directly onto the natural nail without adding any extra length.
While extensions use tips or forms to make the nails longer, an overlay follows the existing shape and length of your own nails to provide a durable protective "shield."
Why Choose an Overlay?
• Strength & Protection: It prevents natural nails from peeling, snapping, or chipping, allowing them to grow longer over time.
• Natural Appearance: Since there is no artificial tip, the profile of the nail remains slim and realistic.
• Smooth Surface: It creates a perfectly even canvas for gel polish, hiding ridges or imperfections in the natural nail plate.
• Longevity: Overlays typically last 3 to 4 weeks before requiring an infill or rebalance.

Hard gel infill

1 hr 30 mins£30

A Hard Gel Infill (also known as a rebalance) is a maintenance service performed every 3 to 4 weeks to refresh a set of hard gel enhancements as the natural nail grows.
Unlike a soak-off gel, hard gel is permanent and must be filed down and "filled" rather than removed entirely.
Why an Infill is Necessary
• Structural Integrity: As the nail grows, the "apex" (the strongest part of the gel) moves forward. An infill repositions this strength to the center of the nail to prevent snapping.
• Lifting Prevention: Over time, the seal near the cuticle can weaken. An infill removes any lifted areas to prevent moisture from getting trapped.
• Aesthetic Refresh: It closes the gap between the cuticle and the old product, making the nails look brand new.

Key Characteristics
• Superior Strength: It is ideal for adding significant length (extensions) or providing a "shield" over natural nails that are prone to breaking or splitting.
• Hypoallergenic Options: Many hard gels are formulated to be hypoallergenic, making them a great alternative for those with sensitivities to acrylic monomers.
• Long-Lasting Shine: The finish is naturally high-gloss and does not dull or yellow over time.
• Non-Porous: It is resistant to chemicals and daily wear, meaning it won’t lift or break down when exposed to water or cleaning products.

BIAB Overlay natural natural nails

1 hr£25

BIAB, which stands for Builder in a Bottle, is a soak-off gel builder specifically designed to add strength and structure to the natural nail. It has become a staple in modern nail care for those looking to grow their own nails without the stiffness or potential damage associated with traditional acrylics.
What Makes BIAB Different?
• Strength & Flexibility: It is thicker than a standard gel polish but more flexible than hard gel or acrylic. This allows the nail to bend slightly under pressure rather than snapping.
• Promotes Growth: Because of its protective layer, it prevents the natural nail from peeling or breaking, making it ideal for "nail biters" or those with weak, brittle nails.
• Self-Leveling: The formula is designed to level itself out during application, creating a smooth, even surface and a perfect "apex" (the curve of the nail) for maximum reinforcement.
• Longevity: A BIAB manicure typically lasts between 3 to 4 weeks without chipping.
