About this treatment

Gel-built extensions add length and shape to your existing nail. We sculpt with a tip or full form, then build the strength and contour with builder gel, finishing in your chosen colour or art. Available in almond, square, coffin, oval and stiletto shapes. The right call when you want bigger nails without the weight or hardness of acrylic.

What to expect

  1. Consultation

    We agree shape, length and finish — including any nail art.

  2. Tip or form fitting

    Tips bonded or forms placed for sculpting, depending on your nail bed.

  3. Gel build & shape

    Layered gel cured under LED, filed to your chosen shape.

  4. Colour & finish

    Gel polish, BIAB or detailed art added on top. Cuticle oil, you're out.

Aftercare

Cuticle oil daily, gloves for washing up. Always book back for removal — never pry tips off. Book infills every 3 weeks to prevent lifting.

FAQs

How long do nail extensions last?

3–4 weeks before infill. Gel-built extensions are lighter than acrylic so tend to feel more natural over the wear period.

What's the difference between gel extensions and acrylic?

Gel extensions are sculpted using flexible gel and a tip or form, set under LED. Acrylic uses a powder-and-liquid monomer system, sets harder. Gel is lighter, more natural-feeling, and easier on the natural nail.

How long does a full set take?

Allow 2 hours for a full set including consultation, prep, application, shaping, finish and any art.
