I specialize in all things gel! Grow your natural nails with a structured gel overlay!
A structured gel overlay gives a very natural look while providing significant support and structure to the nail. The base layer is applied slightly thicker than others to achieve a well balanced look. This can be a great way to grow your nails naturally because this service is fillable (see below for info about fills). You can grow your natural nails for months without a soak off as long as regular fills are maintained.
I love all different types of nail art and am always down to experiment!
I have 3 different art tiers to choose from based on your preferences.
Art Tier 1 - Chrome, Accent nails, Minimalist Design, Cat eye
Art Tier 2 - French Tips, Marble, Some Characters, Simple animals, Charms (This is a safe Tier to pick if you are unsure what you want)
Art Tier 3 - Elaborate Design, Many Characters, Realism, 3D Texture, 3D molded objects, Aura film, Lettering, Pet Portraits
Soft Gel Extensions are a great way to grow your natural nails out.
Soft Gel tips have a full cover effect that protects the natural nail and allows it to grow. They're made of gel and are fillable meaning you can grow them as long as you need before switching to an overlay.
Hard Gel Extensions are great for going really long.
They have great structural integrity while still being flexible on the natural nail! These are made fully from gel. Really cool encapsulation designs and jelly looks can be achieved with this extension type.
Hard gel is different from soft gel because, while still being flexible, it is much less flexible than soft gel. This is good for long nails because it prevents the nail from bending on the nail bed.
Fill Info! All my gel services are fillable❤
Fills are great way to retain the strength and thickness of your natural nail. Traditional nail salons normalize soaking your gel off everytime you come in. This is not necessary. With structured gel manicures you can switch to fills! When its time to change your gel, I use an e-file to shave down the color and rebalance the gel base layer. The base coat is just thick enough that the drill bit will never go below it. We can then do cuticles, reshape, and/or shorten them however you like! We can then FILL in the gel where your nail grew.
I recommend getting a fill every 3-5 weeks for the best results.
Retention! These nails last!
