LUXURY GEL MANICURE
Perfect for overworked or dry hands, this treatment includes a full consultation and a nail analysis. Your cuticles will then be professionally tidied using a range of e-file bits designed specifically for cuticle work. Your nails will then be filed and shaped followed by a 2 coat application of Glitterbels gel polish and 2 coats of No Wipe Top Coat.
​
Once your nails have fully cured under the LED lamp, we will then immerse your hands in a warm, relaxing soak designed to soften the skin. Using an orange & rosemary scrub, your hands are then exfoliated to aid the removal of any dead skin cells. A luxurious hand mask is then applied and left to soak inside thermal hand mitts for 10 minutes. This process allows the product to soak deep into the skin tissue, leaving your hands feeling supple and soft. Finally, you will receive a hand and arm massage designed to help increase blood flow and loosen up any stiff and aching joints. .
LUXURY GEL PEDICURE
The perfect treatment for those tired and callused feet, our luxury pedicure is designed to leave your feet feeling truly pampered and refreshed. Starting with our standard e-file cuticle prep, the nails are then filed and shaped before the application of Glitterbels gel polish and No Wipe Top Coat.
​
Once your gel is fully cured under an LED lamp, your feet are then placed into a heavenly peppermint scented foot soak which helps to soften the hardened skin commonly found on the soles of the feet. After washing the feet with an antibacterial soap, a peppermint and tea tree oil scrub is used to exfoliate each foot, this helps to remove the initial layer of dead skin before a manual rasp is used to concentrate on callus removal. For particularly dry areas, a pedi disc can be used to remove toughened patches of hard skin.
​
You can then sit back and relax as a moisturising foot mask is applied and left to absorb for 10 minutes inside thermal boots. Finally, a soothing lotion is used to massage the feet and legs in order to improve blood flow and loosen stiff and aching joints.
BIAB
(BUILDER IN A BOTTLE)
What is BIAB?
BIAB – which stands for builder in a bottle – is a range of strengthening gel products that are applied to the natural nail, much in the same way regular gel polishes are, but it has a thicker consistency that improves the nail’s strength. That added protection enables nails to grow steadily and lessens the chances of snapping or breakage.
​
How Does BIAB Strengthen Natural Nails?
It’s the thickness of BIAB that provides reinforced strength, durability and protection from external factors like knocks and bumps. BIAB can also be used to repair broken nails, and provide short extensions (up to 1cmm) that can then be shaped.
​
How Long Does It Last?
There are so many variables here, for example: the length of the natural nails underneath, how nails are treated once the manicure is done and whether the recommended aftercare is done properly. However, for the average person, most should be able to go around two to three weeks between appointments, when BIAB can either be removed and reapplied, or infilled – which is where the existing polish is filed down and the gap between the old BIAB and the natural nail is filled in with a fresh layer.
​
You can choose to have a natural BIAB overlay with a selection of natural shades available to suit all skin tones OR why not add a pop of colour or nail art and choose from our wide range of Glitterbels gel polishes.
SOFT GEL EXTENSIONS
You've probably heard of or used press-on nails before. It's also likely that you've had a gel manicure in the past. But what happens if you combine the best of both into one service? You get soft gel nail extensions.
Soft gel nail extensions are made from the same type of gel that gel polish is made of. They also add length to your nails just like regular press-on nails. Plus they are as strong and as long lasting as regular acrylics. And, because they don’t involve the powder or harsh chemicals associated with acrylics, they’re healthier for your nails too.
​
Available in a wide variety of shapes and lengths, soft gel extensions are quick and easy to apply and can be enhanced with gel polish and nail art much like a regular gel service.
​
When it comes to regrowth, you can choose to have an entirely new set of extensions or opt for an infill which is achieved using Glitterbels Clear BIAB.
