Basic Nail Art - Add to Gel Polish

£0
15 mins

Basic Nail Art, added to your gel polish appointment, is a simple way to make your manicure feel a little more special without turning it into a full set of detailed nail art. Think clean lines, subtle details and one or two feature nails, finished with the same smooth, glossy top coat so everything looks polished and intentional.

More information

What Basic Nail Art adds to your gel polish

Basic Nail Art is a short add on designed for simple, wearable details that still look tidy as your nails grow.

  • A quick chat about what you like, from subtle to a little more playful.
  • Simple designs such as dots, fine lines, minimal shapes, or a single accent nail.
  • Placement that suits your nail shape and length, so it looks balanced, not busy.
  • Neat application over your chosen gel colour, then sealed under top coat for a smooth finish.
  • A realistic plan for what can be achieved within a short add on slot.

Basic nail art ideas that work for everyday life

If you want something you will still like two weeks in, simple usually wins. Popular choices include a feature nail on each hand, a fine line detail, or a minimal pattern that complements your gel colour.

If you are not sure what will suit you, bring a couple of inspiration photos and we will help you pick something that matches your style and your nail shape.

How the add on fits into your gel polish appointment

This service is added onto your gel polish booking and usually takes around 15 minutes, depending on the design. If you already know you would like nail art, it is best to book it in so there is enough time to keep everything precise.

Keeping your Basic Nail Art looking fresh

Treat your nails like jewellery, not tools, and use cuticle oil regularly to keep the skin and nails comfortable. If you are hard on your hands at work or the gym, choose simpler designs as they tend to look tidier for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as Basic Nail Art with gel polish?
Basic Nail Art usually means simple details like dots, fine lines, small shapes, or one or two accent nails. It is designed to be quick and wearable, rather than intricate, time heavy designs.
Can I choose a design or bring a photo?
Yes, you can choose a design, and photos are helpful for showing the vibe you want. If the design is too detailed for a basic add on, you will be guided towards a simpler version that still suits your nails.
Will nail art affect how long my gel polish lasts?
When applied neatly and sealed properly, basic nail art should wear much like your gel polish. Longevity still depends most on prep, aftercare, and how your hands are used day to day.
Do I need to book Basic Nail Art in advance?
Yes, it is best to add it to your gel polish booking so enough time is set aside. If you mention it on the day, it may be possible, but it depends on the schedule.
Can I add Basic Nail Art to BIAB as well?
If you are having BIAB with a gel colour on top, basic nail art can usually be added in the same way. Book it alongside your appointment so there is time to complete the design neatly.
