What to Expect During Your French BioGel Overlay

  1. Nail consultation — We begin by discussing your desired look and nail health goals. Whether you want a classic French look with natural tips or something slightly more modern, we'll create the perfect style for you.
  2. Natural nail preparation — Your natural nails are gently cleaned, buffed, and shaped to create the perfect canvas for the French BioGel overlay. This step ensures proper adhesion and a smooth, even finish.
  3. BioGel application — natural base — We apply a thin, even layer of natural-coloured BioGel to your nails, creating the foundation for the French look. This gives your nails a beautiful, natural appearance.
  4. BioGel application — white tips — We carefully apply white BioGel to create crisp, perfect French tips. Our technicians use precision techniques to ensure the smile line is flawless and symmetrical on every nail.
  5. Curing — The BioGel is cured under an LED/UV lamp, setting the product for durability and long-lasting wear. This step ensures your French overlay stays beautiful and strong for weeks.
  6. Finishing — Once cured, we refine and finish the overlay to a perfect glossy shine. Your nails will look elegant, natural, and beautifully polished with timeless French tips.
