Semi-permanent polish: care, wear, when it makes sense

People often ask: gel or semi-permanent? There isn’t one answer. It depends on how you use your hands, how long you want colour to last, and how the nail plate is doing.

Semi-permanent here includes the cuticles. Sixty minutes: a tidy nail bed and a surface that doesn’t lift at the first wash. If you like changing colour, it is lighter than a full reconstruction.

I don’t push a style. I look at the nail, I listen. Write to me on WhatsApp — we’ll get back to you with a date and service.
