Gel Manicure / builder gel
Using Everything Magpie...
In 2025 I rebranded to Magpie Beauty and I now use their products for Gel overlays on both hands and feet and builder gel. Magpie are firm believers that nail products are prescriptive, just like skin care it is not a case of one fits all. Here at The Little Beautician, before treatment begins every client will have a short consultation to access which nail products will work best on their nails to maintain nail health and achieve long lasting results. With a wide variety of different base coats and gel options, there is something for everyone!
Structure Gel Manicure - 1 hour 30 mins
Lasting 3+ weeks with correct aftercare
Also known as Give Me Strength / Give Me Strength +
A hard wearing Manicure suitable for nails which are brittle/weak and prone to chipping. The application of the product can involve creating an apex building strength and structure to the natural nail. Can be infilled.
Gel Manicure - 1 hour 15 mins
Lasting 2-3 weeks with correct aftercare
If your natural nail is healthy, strong and requires no added strength/structure this would be your ideal Manicure.
Builder Gel Manicure - 1 hour 30 mins
Lasting 3+ weeks
Can be infilled
Extra strength Manicure for nails that are weak or require a product which is very hard wearing.
French Polish
add french to your Gel Manicure or Gel Pedicure for an elegant and classy look. Please note I do not offer any nail art.
Infills (time varies)
Infills are now available to book with your Structure Gel Manicures / Builder Gel. Infills are recommended to be booked regularly instead of soaking off at every appointment. I personally like to infill every 4/5 times and then completely remove/soak off and re apply.
Gel Removal ( Soak off) 45 mins
This treatment is the removal of Gel Polish, an e file may be used to remove the top layer and then nails are soaked in acetone and removed professionally. Your nails will be filed & shaped and left with cuticle oil and hand cream.
- Please make Sam aware if you need to have your gels removed prior to your treatment or we may not be able to carry out the desired treatment.
- If you don't book an Gel Removal, and arrive with gels on please note I will have to reduce your treatment time if I have another client after you. I strongly recommend re-booking with me to have your gel polish removed professionally. Removing gels in-properly or at home can damage your natural nail.
When booking, you will see I have created a variety of options for the finish of your Manicure. If you would like a simple / natural Builder Gel with no colour on top this is called Build It (Natural). If you would like to have any gel colour on top of the builder you can certainly do this at a small extra cost and this is called Build It (Gel Colour). If you would like to have french there is also an option to do this. Please ensure you think about this prior to your appointment so that the correct time can be allocated for you. French always takes longer to do, if you would like this please allow extra time and ensure you book Build It (French) or French Gel Manicure. If you need any help when choosing a manicure that would best suit you, please do get in touch and I will be happy to help.
