Overlays and extensions

A hard gel overlay strengthens your natural nail at its own length, while hard gel extensions use tips to add length before the gel is shaped and finished to your chosen style. Nail art can be added as an extra on either option.

Both are maintained with an infill roughly every three to four weeks. When it is time to remove them, hard gel is taken off professionally to keep the natural nail healthy.
