Gel Manicure
Gel polish
Who It's For
Ideal for anyone wanting durable, salon-quality colour that lasts far longer than regular polish — great for busy lifestyles, holidays and events, or beautifully finished everyday nails.
Expected Results
A glossy, hard-wearing finish lasting two to three weeks. Rebooking every two to three weeks keeps nails looking their best.
Pre-care Advice
- Arrive with clean, product-free nails where possible.
- Avoid cutting your cuticles beforehand.
- Existing gel can be safely removed at your appointment.
After-care Advice
- No drying time — nails are ready to go.
- Avoid picking or peeling the gel and wear gloves for cleaning.
- Apply cuticle oil daily and book a professional soak-off rather than peeling.
Downtime & Recovery
No downtime — nails are cured and ready to use immediately after your appointment.
Contraindications
Please Read Carefully Before Booking This Treatment.
Let Michelle know about any nail or skin conditions, allergies (including to gel products), or infection around the nail. Gel is not applied over damaged or infected nails.
Side Effects & Risks
Very safe when applied and removed correctly. Peeling gel off can weaken the natural nail, so always book a professional soak-off. Product sensitivity is rare — please mention any past reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is soak-off removal included?
Removal is free of charge if your gel was originally applied at Chell's Beauty by the Sea. If the gel was applied elsewhere, a small additional charge applies and must be booked with a new gel application.
