Structured Gel Manicure
Structured gel
Who It's For
Ideal for anyone with weak, thin or peeling nails wanting added strength and length without extensions, and for those who love a long-lasting, low-maintenance manicure.
Expected Results
Stronger, protected nails with a smooth, glossy finish lasting three to four weeks. Regular infills support healthy nail growth.
Pre-care Advice
- Arrive with clean, product-free nails where possible.
- Avoid cutting your cuticles beforehand.
- Existing gel can be infilled or safely removed at your appointment.
After-care Advice
- Avoid using your nails as tools and wear gloves for cleaning.
- Apply cuticle oil daily.
- Book infills every three to four weeks and choose a professional soak-off over 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 damage, infection or allergies to gel products. Gel is not applied over infected or badly damaged nails.
Side Effects & Risks
Very safe when applied and removed properly. Peeling gel off can damage the natural nail, so always book a professional removal. Product sensitivity is rare — please mention any past reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is structured gel the same as acrylic?
No. Structured gel is applied over your natural nails and uses a UV or LED-cured gel system. It is gentler on the natural nail than acrylics and does not require harsh filing or chemical primers.
What happens if I leave my infill too long?
If more than four weeks have passed since your previous structured gel set, a full removal and new set will be required rather than an infill appointment.
