Valerie’s Nail Design

Gel-X System looks and feels natural and provides instant length. Gel-X extensions have the malleability of a soft gel polish and the durability of traditional nail enhancements. The extension is applied directly on top of your full natural nail and can be cut and shaped to your preference. The nails can go up to 3-4 weeks without any lifting, meaning no raised edges or chipping off. You may notice some growth at the base of your nail after wearing the extensions for over three weeks, but that's also an indicator that it's time to get your nails removed or redone. It is not recommended to get an in-fill on gel-x, and are soaked-off for proper removal before reapplication.

No extension is added, it is only applied to the length of your natural nail. Ideal for nail biters, or those looking for extra durability, or to grow their natural nails. Fill-ins consist of filing the regrowth area and restoring balance to the entire nail. This service can only be booked within 2-3 weeks of prior service; if your nails are more than four weeks old, it is recommended to book a new set and removal.

Dip powder enhancements provide a low maintenance and durable solution. Dip powder nails are a safe alternative to traditional acrylic and liquid, as they are odor free! They are light weight and have a natural look and feel. Dip nails are air dry and do not require UV light. With proper care and maintenance this enhancement can last 2-3 weeks. Dip nails cannot be in-filled and are soaked-off for proper remova before applying a full set.

Great for those looking to add length and strength to their nails. Acrylics can help protect weak or brittle natural nails from breakage and can even help discourage nail biting by providing a harder surface. Acrylics should last six to eight weeks with a fill needed about every two to three weeks, depending on your nail growth.
