What is Gel Polish Hands?
Gel Polish Hands is a focused 30-minute gel application without the full manicure treatment. Your nails are prepped and coated with professional gel colour that lasts 2-3 weeks without chipping. It's ideal for clients who maintain their cuticles at home and just want a long-lasting colour — all the durability of gel without the time or cost of a full gel manicure.
The Experience
Treatment Process
- 1
Your nails are lightly prepped — shaped if needed and cleaned to ensure proper gel adhesion.
- 2
A gel base coat is applied and cured under UV/LED light.
- 3
Your chosen gel colour is applied in thin, even layers, each cured under the lamp.
- 4
A glossy top coat seals the finish for lasting shine and chip resistance.

Your Visit
- 1
Remove existing gel polish before arriving, or add Gel Removal (10min, £12) to your booking
- 2
Avoid hand cream or oils on the day — these prevent gel from bonding properly
Chrome finish or powder would be £5 extra per 10 min.
