Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the fix?
We assess the nail, then shape, prep and tidy the cuticle. We repair chips or lifting, colour-match your gel, and finish with a durable top coat.
Will the repair match my colour?
Yes. We match from our gel range or blend a close shade for a seamless look. If your brand is uncommon, we will advise the nearest match.
Is this suitable for broken extensions?
This service is for gel polish on natural nails. For extensions or complex breaks, please book an extension repair so we can rebuild correctly.
How long will it last?
Your repair should wear like the rest of your set. Longevity depends on your nail condition and daily habits.
Can you fix a lifted edge?
Yes, we remove the lifted area, re-prep the nail, and reapply gel to seal it. This helps prevent further lifting and snagging.
