Gel Polish
I use three brands of gel polish – Shellac, Halo and Glitterbels and currently have over 100 colours (and counting!) for you to choose from.
The original “power polish”. Shellac combines the ease of nail polish with the performance of gel. Once cured under a UV light your nails are instantly dry resulting in a beautiful, smudge free, high shine finish for up to two weeks perfect for those special occasions, everyday wear or just an excuse to pamper yourself!
Shellac is designed for the natural nail client who simply can’t keep polish on for more than a few days, or who ends up dinging a fresh manicure because of impatience during the drying process.
Shellac helps weak, thin nails by adding a strong, yet thin coating for protection. Shellac also helps hard, brittle nails by adding a tough, resilient coating for flexible protection.
Halo offers a fresh approach to gel polish providing you with an unrivalled spectrum of stunning colours and high-quality finishes, you’re guaranteed to achieve the perfect manicure, every time. With a wide range of colours available, there's a shade for every style & mood! It's also vegan and cruelty free! It's easy to remove and causes little damage to the natural nail.
Glitterbels Gel Polish is a premium gel polish with a fabulous colour range.
IBX® is a revolutionary two-part system that toughens the natural nail from WITHIN so that it can grow on it’s own. It also acts as a “protective shield” inside the natural nail under all gel polishes.
IBX® works by fusing the nail’s top layers together by creating an inter-penetrating polymer network that becomes a permanent addition to the nail.
As a treatment under gel polish or nail enhancements it creates a protective shield for the natural nail, safeguarding it against the Gel Polish removal process.
As a nail growth treatment, you can expect repair of severe or chronic nail damage that would typically prevent nail growth. It internally toughens the nail plate to allow for growth. It also fills up grooves to smooth the nail plat and improves natural nail colour and appearance.
I would recommend the following treatment schedule:
Once a week for:
* damaged & very thin nails
* nails that are peeling
* severely ridged & brittle nails
Every two weeks for:
* nails that are improving
* difficult to grow nails
* heavily grooved nails
Every three to four weeks:
* maintenance to ensure good condition
* to enhance polish wear
* for beautiful natural nails

Brush on Builder Gel
Glitterbels Brush on Builder gel is designed for the natural nail and short natural looking enhancements, ideal for creating strong overlays. It is not advised for long or extreme enhancements.
Builder gels are great for creating shape and strengthening nails and look fantastic underneath gel polish.
