Understanding Gel / Acrylic Toes
Gel and acrylic toes treatments are cosmetic services designed to enhance the appearance and durability of toenails. Much like their fingernail counterparts, these enhancements provide a strong, polished look that lasts for weeks. Ideal for those who want perfect-looking toes without constant upkeep, these treatments are growing in popularity for both aesthetic and practical reasons.
What is a Gel / Acrylic Toes Service?
This service involves applying either gel polish or acrylic overlays/extensions to the toenails for a flawless, long-lasting finish. It typically includes:
Nail preparation: cleaning, shaping, and buffing the natural toenails
Application of gel polish or acrylic overlays
UV/LED curing (for gel) or air-drying (for acrylic)
Optional nail art or colour customisation
Moisturising and aftercare advice
The result is elegant, durable toenails that maintain their beauty for 3–6 weeks or more.
