Nail treatments are becoming increasingly sophisticated and are a relatively inexpensive beauty treatment. We have a number of deals for nails across Manchester, making them even more affordable. Here are some of the latest treatments that you might want to try:
Nail Art – There is an extensive range of nail art now available including jewels, beads and dried flowers as well as stickers in a variety of colourful motifs. Once you have chosen your nail art it is placed onto nail varnish whilst the varnish is still tacky. Then the nail art is sealed in place using top coat or sealer, leaving you with a long lasting, eye catching design.
Minx Nails – These foil wraps are proving popular with celebrities. They are basically a foil sticker that is applied on top of your natural nail. They come in a selection of jazzy designs and can last for several weeks as they are covered with a waterproof seal. This means that they will stay in place even when you take a bath or shower or if you go swimming.
Acrylics – Acrylic nails are extensions that are attached to your own nails using special glue. They can be painted in vibrant colours and patterns and you can also apply glitter to them for added appeal. Acrylics are usually chosen by people who have difficulty growing their nails as they give the instant appearance of added length.
Gel Nails – Gel nails give similar results to acrylic nails in that they enhance your natural nails and make them appear longer. However, they are applied in a different way. A nail technician will apply a few coats of gel and each one will be dried using a UV lamp. However, because gel is applied to the nails in layers, some claim that it has a more natural appearance than acrylics, which are stuck on. Gel nails are also hardwearing and long lasting.
Bio Sculpture Gel – This is an upmarket treatment, which uses a soft type of gel over your natural nails, and is available from Vixens Nail & Beauty. Your nails don’t have to be filed or buffed excessively before the gel is applied as they do with acrylics. This means that your nails can grow naturally, and the gel grows out with the nail. It is then possible to have an infill to cover the gap. Alternatively, you can have your gel nails soaked off and new ones put on. These differ from hard gel nails, which cannot be soaked off.
So, if you’re looking for a boost, a new set of nails should do the trick, and they’re bound to create a buzz amongst your friends and colleagues.
