Bloom Nails & Beauty: Where Your Beauty Blooms

Summary: Traditional nail care focusing on natural nail health, shaping, cuticle care, and standard polish application for a clean and polished look.

Details: This foundational treatment begins with a relaxing soak, followed by gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin. We meticulously care for your cuticles, trim and shape your nails to your desired length and style, and finish with a soothing hand or foot massage. The service concludes with the application of your chosen colour from our extensive range of high-quality standard nail polishes. Ideal for regular maintenance, a quick tidy-up, or when you prefer a polish that can be easily changed at home. The polish typically lasts 5-7 days, depending on your daily activities.

Summary: Long-lasting, high-gloss polish options cured under UV/LED light for exceptional durability and shine that lasts for weeks without chipping.

Details: Applied similarly to traditional polish, gel and Shellac undergo a curing process under a specialised UV or LED lamp, instantly hardening the polish layer by layer. This results in a remarkably durable, chip-resistant, and smudge-proof finish that maintains its high-gloss shine for typically 2 to 3 weeks. Gel is slightly more robust and is often used in nail extension systems, while Shellac (a brand by CND) is a hybrid formula known for its beautiful finish and relatively easier soak-off removal compared to some gels. Perfect for holidays, busy lifestyles, or anyone who wants their manicure to last without constant touch-ups. Requires professional soak-off removal to protect the natural nail.

Comparison: While both offer long wear, Gel can be used for extensions and is generally harder, whereas Shellac is a specific, popular hybrid polish often favoured for its balance of durability and removal ease.

Summary: Creates significant length, allows for dramatic shaping, and provides exceptional strength by combining a liquid monomer and powder polymer.

Details: Acrylic enhancements are formed by mixing a liquid monomer with a powdered polymer to create a malleable bead that our technicians sculpt onto your natural nail and, if desired, onto a nail form or tip to add length. Once the mixture dries and hardens (which happens naturally through air exposure), it creates a very strong and durable overlay or extension. Acrylics are ideal for those who want substantial length added, wish to change their nail shape dramatically, or need a very strong layer for weak or brittle nails. They are highly versatile for various designs and lengths. Due to natural nail growth, acrylics require fills every 2-3 weeks to maintain their look and strength. Professional soak-off removal is essential to prevent damage to the natural nail.

Summary: A unique dipping system using a brush-on gel base and a fine coloured powder, creating a strong, lightweight, and often perceived as healthier nail enhancement.

Details: SNS involves applying a liquid base coat to the nail, then dipping the nail into a fine coloured powder. This process is repeated in layers until the desired strength and colour opacity are achieved. A sealant is then applied and buffed to a smooth, durable finish. One of the key benefits often associated with SNS is that the powders are fortified with Calcium and Vitamin E, which proponents claim can nourish the natural nail underneath. SNS provides durability comparable to gel polish, lasting 2-3 weeks, and creates a look that feels lightweight and natural on the nail. It's an excellent option for those seeking strength and moderate length without the use of UV lamps or the strong odour associated with traditional acrylics. Professional soak-off removal is necessary.

Summary: Custom designs, patterns, and embellishments applied to your manicure or enhancements to express your unique style or suit a special occasion.

Details: Nail art allows you to truly personalise your look! Our talented technicians can create a wide range of designs, from simple accents like glitter, French tips, and simple stamping, to more intricate hand-painted patterns, delicate floral motifs, geometric shapes, gradients (ombre), gems, studs, and trendy finishes like chrome or holographic effects. Whether you want subtle elegance or bold statement nails, we can bring your vision to life. The complexity of the design will determine the time required and the cost. We recommend discussing your desired nail art when booking to ensure we allocate sufficient time and have the necessary materials ready. Perfect for weddings, parties, holidays, or just because you feel like treating yourself to something special!

Summary: Individually applied synthetic or natural fibre lashes bonded to your natural lashes to enhance length, curl, and volume, creating a fuller, more dramatic eye look.

Details: Eyelash extensions are meticulously applied one by one to your own natural eyelashes using a medical-grade adhesive. This process creates a seamlessly blended, natural-looking enhancement. We offer various styles, including Classic (one extension per natural lash for a mascara look), Volume (multiple fine extensions per natural lash for density and drama), and Hybrid (a mix of classic and volume). You can choose from different lengths, curls, and thicknesses to achieve your desired effect. Extensions last through your natural lash cycle, which is typically 6-8 weeks, but maintenance fills are recommended every 2-3 weeks to keep them looking full as your natural lashes shed and new ones grow. Say goodbye to mascara and wake up with effortlessly beautiful eyes!

Summary: Expert services to define, sculpt, and enhance your eyebrows through precise waxing, plucking, and custom-matched tinting.

Details: Your eyebrows are key to framing your face and enhancing your natural features. Our skilled brow artists will consult with you to understand your desired shape and work to create a flattering arch that complements your face structure. Using a combination of gentle waxing and meticulous plucking, we remove unwanted hairs to achieve clean, defined lines. For those with sparse or light-coloured brows, tinting can add depth and fullness, creating a bolder, more polished look without the need for daily brow makeup. We use high-quality, skin-friendly tints that are custom-mixed to match your hair colour and skin tone. This quick service can make a significant difference to your overall appearance, giving you beautifully groomed brows that last for several weeks.
