I encourage all my clients to ditch the extensions and instead grow beautiful, strong natural nails. Enhance these with a gel polish. The GelBottle Inc gel polishes are rich, highly pigmented, chip-resistant and offer extremely long lasting shine. Acrylic enhancements are hard wearing, they can be added to the natural nail as an overlay, To add length, acrylic can be sculpted or tips can be used and blended to your natural nail.

Acrylic is best suited to healthy natural nails or pliable nails. Gel is one part, it doesn't need mixing, gel cures with UV light and so the material is consistent every time. Gel nails are equally as strong as acrylics, if anything they are more resistant to breakage as they are more flexible. Welcome to Zen Beauty, I'm Julie, I work from a fully equipped salon based at my home in St Helens.

Nail Enhancements Report

From my home nail salon in St Helens I offer most types of nail enhancements and nail extensions. If there's anything that I haven't covered then please feel free to call me or contact me by email, I'll do my best to answer. Acrylic nails are still the most popular type of nail extension. Find out what types of acrylic nail extensions that I offer and also find out about some of the myths surrounding acrylic nails.

Acrylic Nail Enhancements Report

One of the most common types of nail enhancements that I get asked for are acrylic nails. This is largely due to the fact that acrylic nails seem to have been around forever. Known more recently as liquid and powder, acrylic nail extensions have always seemed to have the edge as they were traditionally cheaper and stronger than gel nails and so most people have chosen them from day one and have never strayed since.

Gel Nail Enhancements Report

When gel nails were first introduced some years ago, there were a number of nail techs who, through trial and error experienced a few service breakdowns, the product was new and everyone wanted in on the action, sometimes without proper education. Some of you may have tried gel nails in the past only to be disappointed.

Gel Polish Report

If you're looking for the latest in Gel Polish then The Gel Bottle hits the spot. Developed as a three stage system, base coat, colour and a top coat each cure in under a minute in a state of the art LED lamp. Available in over 420 colours, The GelBottle Inc gel polishes are rich, highly pigmented, chip-resistant and offer extremely long lasting shine.
