What are gel extensions?

Gel extensions are full-coverage gel nails applied with gel instead of harsh adhesives that extend the length of your nails but are much lighter than acrylics and have less risk of damaging the nail when it comes to removal as we do not use electric files for application or removal.

What is Luminary? Why does it sometimes burn while curing?

A multi-flex gel that combines the strength of acrylic with the flexibility of hard gel to create long-lasting manicures. As with most gel systems, you may experience a bit of a heat spike depending on the thickness of the gel. Keep in mind Luminary is a thicker product. Try to go in the light and pull out of the light after 5-10 seconds. Once should be enough but depending on your sensitivity level, you may want to repeat the process. Luminary is booked as an add-on service.

How do you remove your gel polish and gel extensions?

What is the difference between hard gel/acrylic/dip and gel polish/gel extensions?

Hard gel, acrylic ,and dip typically are applied using a range of techniques such as a brush and separate pot of thick gel product or powder/liquid combination and electric files are used before or during application, and require an electric file for removal causing major damage in some circumstances to the natural nail. Gel polish and gel extensions do not require electric files before, during, or for removal. They are cured using an LED light and can be soaked off with hand filing and acetone without damaging the natural nail.

What makes us natural? Why do you not use nail drills?

We specialize in providing natural nail care and products and do not use acrylic products because they are poor for your overall health. We do not use Electric files because they can be extremely damaging  and we strive to protect the integrity of your natural nail.
