Who’s this for?
First Time Clients: Book this BIAB manicure for structure and a sleek, strong, long-lasting finish. If you have product on your nails from a previous salon you’ll need to book a removal.
Nail Biters/Pickers: You're in very good company, research puts the number of adults who bite their nails at somewhere between 20 and 30%. Let's give your nails a fresh start. Regular care and gentle cuticle love will have you feeling proud (and bite-free).
How it works: Builder Gel protects your natural nails whilst they grow out strong and healthy underneath. This is a gentle, low-impact manicure that help your natural nails thrive. Builder gel is overlayed on natural nails and last 3-4 weeks on average, with proper aftercare (cuticle oil, not using them as tools, and no gardening or cleaning without gloves).
biab rebalance (infill)
$140
1.5 - 2 hours
This is for returning clients only.
Maintain your manicure with a seamless rebalance of structure using premium builder gel (BIAB).
Perfect for restoring strength and a flawless finish while extending wear and growing natural nails out longer or trimming down to maintain your desired length. Includes a gel polish colour on top of the builder gel tint if desired.
Gel x Extensions
$200
1.5 - 2 hours
Gel X extensions are ideal for anyone who wants the look of long, natural nails without the weight or thickness of acrylic. This service uses flexible, lightweight soft gel tips that are custom shaped and sized to suit your unique nail bed, then sealed with a gel base for extra durability and a seamless finish. Finished with a gel polish colour of your choice for a natural, glossy result that feels as light as your own nails. Nail art can be added separately.
Nail Art
Price and time varies
At Apricot Nails, I love creating fun, personalised, and personality-packed designs, however great nail art takes preparation and planning ahead. Complex looks like chrome detailing (isolated chrome), magnetic gel/cat eye, 3D elements, hand-painted art, nuance designs, layered effects, or other custom nail art need specific product preparation.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how it works:
Depending on the style, art can add 15 minutes to 1 hour after your BIAB Russian Manicure.
You must send through clear inspo images and your final nail art ideas at least two days before your appointment.
I’ll review the inspo with you ahead of time and provide a quote based on the time, technique, and detail involved.
If I haven’t received your inspo in advance, you will be unable to have nail art at your appointment.
Want to leave the design up to me?
Artist’s choice is available! I’ll take creative control and design something fun and unique for you. Just let me know in advance if there’s anything you don’t want, such as colours, themes, or styles you’re not into.
