For those people who like to have a salon treatment that they can follow up with home care we recommend that they choose OPI for polishes that are so glossy they look wet.  The secret to making a manicure last one to two weeks is to regularly top up the colour fill in any chips then apply top coat to give that just manicured look!

OPI is one of the world’s best knownrange of nail care products. They are known for their signature of quality. There are beautiful colours to choose from that slide on like silk, looking fresh for up to one to two weeks, even longer on the toes.

With our therapists there are no short cuts. Hands and nails are analyzed. A personalized regimen is prescribed. Specific products for each nail type - dry, normal, brittle, and damaged - are recommended where appropriate. Then every nail is perfected with a dazzling veneer of our long-wearing nail colours and top coats. All to keep your nails absolutely flawless until your next treatment.
