I'm often asked if I do dip or dipping nails (like SNS) or do acrylics. The short answer is no, I don't. I have various reasons why I don't offer a dipping system, and I stopped using acrylic when PolyGel became available a few years back.

What is PolyGel?
PolyGel is a hybrid between acrylic and hard gel - hard gel is used for extensions, it it not gel polish, gel polish is classed as a soft gel.
It has the strength of acrylic with the flexibility of hard gel, along with being really lightweight. Artistic Putty (PolyGel) is 23% lighter than acrylic, and 16% lighter than hard gel, with no sacrifice to durability, so it feels a lot less bulky than traditional acrylic enhancements. PolyGel can be applied as an overlay, or sculpted over tips or forms, and is backfilled to maintain it - just like acrylic - and the added bonus ... there's no stinky chemical smell!

For a comparison between hard gel, PolyGel and acrylic, read more this article: https://www.ramblingrose.co.nz/gel-vs-acrylic-nails

Are you keen to try nail art but feeling a little apprehensive?

Have a chat to me at your appointment (just make sure you book the additional Nail Art add-on, so we have time to play). We can trial a few things, and if you don't feel comfortable, they simply wipe off without damaging the polish underneath.

Nail art is charged at $2 per nail, and it can include pigments, foils, stamping, decals, glitter, or a combination of a few.

Nail art is charged at $2 per nail, on top of the selected manicure price, to cover the cost of the artwork and the extra time it takes.

Choose your manicure service and then select nail art from the additional services menu that pops up - I need this extra allocated time to do your art.
