Many clients believe that achieving durable nails requires adding plastic extensions or heavy acrylics. However, if you already like your natural nail length or want to grow your own nails out naturally, a gel overlay provides unbreakable strength without glued-on tips.
Should I get an overlay or extensions?
If your goal is immediate, dramatic length added in a single day, full nail extensions with tips are the right path.
However, if you want to enhance the strength and shape of your existing nails—or if you want to naturally grow your nails long without them splitting—a gel overlay is exactly what you need. It coats your existing nail plate with a resilient protective layer.
How long does a gel overlay last?
With proper home care (like using cuticle oil daily), a gel overlay will easily last 3 to 4 weeks without lifting or chipping.
As your natural nail grows out underneath, you simply return to our Westfield studio for a rebalance fill near the cuticle, keeping your natural nails strong, smooth, and looking pristine.
