Your appointment focuses on careful removal, tidy cuticles, and a smooth new gel finish that looks neat in everyday life. Ideal if you want nails that feel polished for work, weekends, and everything in between in Grange Park and Northampton. ## Gel Polish Removal and Re-Application, what is included This appointment is designed to take you from old gel to a fresh, even finish in one visit. - Quick check of your current gel, any lifting, and nail condition before we start - Gentle removal of existing gel, aiming to protect the natural nail underneath - Nail shaping and length tidy, keeping the result practical for day to day - Cuticle work to help the new gel sit smoothly and look cleaner for longer - Fresh gel colour application with a glossy top coat - Finished with a light oil or moisturiser to rehydrate the skin around the nails ### When gel removal and re-application is the best option - Your gel has grown out and you want the cuticle area looking neat again - You have lifting or catching at the edges and want it safely removed - You want a full colour change rather than painting over existing gel - You have an event coming up and want a clean, glossy finish - You want a regular reset that fits a busy schedule ### How your removal and re-apply appointment runs We start by assessing the existing gel, then remove it in a controlled way rather than peeling or picking. Once the old product is off, we refine the shape, tidy the cuticles, and prep the nail so the new gel applies evenly. Your chosen colour is applied in thin, smooth layers, then sealed with top coat for shine. ### Looking after your gel at home, so it stays looking tidy Use cuticle oil little and often, especially after washing up or using hand sanitiser. Avoid picking at lifting edges, it can take layers of natural nail with it. If you notice chips or lifting, it is usually best to book in for a tidy up or removal rather than trying to fix it at home.

Yes, the appointment covers removal of your existing gel and a fresh gel application. It is designed as a complete reset so your nails look neat again. Will gel polish removal damage my natural nails? When gel is removed carefully, it should not be taking layers of natural nail with it. Damage is more often caused by peeling, picking, or over filing at home. Can I change the nail shape or length during a re-application? Yes, we can tidy the length and adjust the shape as part of the service. If you want a big change, it helps to mention it at the start so we can plan the time well. What if my nails feel thin or bendy after wearing gel? Let us know and we will keep removal and prep as gentle as possible. We can also talk through whether a strengthening option, like BIAB, would suit your nails better next time. How do I keep my gel looking good between appointments? Use cuticle oil daily and wear gloves for cleaning and washing up. Try not to use your nails as tools, and avoid picking if you notice any lifting.
