Sculptured acrylic nail enhancements - the strongest, most beautiful nail extension...
What are sculptured acrylics?
These are acrylic nails extensions (pictured above) built up on 'forms'. The free edge (also known as the tip or the white part of the nail) is created by hand using acrylic liquid and powder. No tips are used at all because this free edge is built up on top of the form. The form fits perfectly to the individual nail, creating the perfect curve and improved strength & durability. The whole process is done by hand and the art takes years to master. This is one of the reasons you don't see sculptured nail extensions offered in every salon.
Why are sculptured nails stronger?
They are stronger for several reasons. A typical nail extension (where a tip has been applied) has a weak spot where the tip is attached to the natural nail. This is why many breaks often occur at the tip. The sculptured nail does not have this weakness because there is no tip. Although each nail has a white 'free edge' and a pink 'body' it is the same product covering the nail from cuticle to free edge and therefore there is no weak spot. The sculptured nail is also stronger because the strength of the nail extension comes from the bond between the acrylic coating and the natural nail. When a tip has been used there is less natural nail touching the acrylic than when a nail has been sculptured. We believe sculptured acrylic nails are the strongest nail extensions available today.
How are they more beautiful?
To the untrained eye the true beauty of the nail enhancement may go unnoticed, but to a passionate nail tech (ok we're nail geeks) we need curves in all the right places! Sculptured acrylics are beautiful, perfectly curved nail enhancements because the forms fit each person's nails individually. This type of extension also looks incredibly natural because the whole thing is created by hand.
How long should my nails last?
No two sets of nails last exactly the same. The amount of time before an infill is needed is determined by the natural growth rate of the natural nail,the skill of the technician and the way in which they are looked after by the client. The oiliness of the natural nail plate and whether the nails were badly bitten before the extensions were applied also influences the lifespan of the nails to some degree. Most clients choose to come for infills every 3 wks. Some prefere fortnightly appointments and some clients with our senior technician come monthly.
Why are there different prices?
As mentioned before sculpturing acrylics by hand is a technique which takes lots of practise. The prices we charge reflect the level of skill and amount of experience of the technician.

IBX Nail Repair System
What is IBX?
IBX is a revolutionary two system nail treatment. The first of its kind which works inside the natural nail to target imperfections, weak, thin and damaged nails to allow for stronger and healthier nails to grow long. There any many existing “nail strengthening fixers” on the markets which just sit on top of the nail, IBX does not.
The IBX concept “fills up” nail grooves, including splits, peeling and free edge delamination to smooth the nail plate and improve the natural nail colour and appearance.
IBX-2
Do you want your own longer, more beautiful natural nails?
The revolutionary IBX System is a penetrative toughening system and is a new salon service offering professional help for weak and damaged nails. This intensive strengthening treatment works so you can build length and durability from the INSIDE, OUT. It fuses the layers in the upper portion of the nail plate together with an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) which locks itself within the nail plate.
IBX-3
Firstly, the IBX Repair is applied initially to the targeted damaged areas including splits, peeling and free edge delamination. It acts like ‘double-sided sticky tape’ to seal damaged areas together.
An Infra-Red lamp is then used to encourage the penetration of the product (similar to how butter melts into warm bread) and then the application of the second stage, IBX, is applied to the whole nail, cured using an LED lamp. When it is your first treatment, the IBX will be applied twice to the entire nail plate.
IBX-4
It’s completely invisible afterwards, but continues to work inside the nail to create a supportive scaffolding.
If required you can now have an application of a Gel Polish or nail varnish as you perhaps usually would.
The treatment lasts until your nails grow out. A one-off treatment may be enough, though for very damaged nails, two or three treatments may be needed to restore equilibrium.
IBX-5
Addicted to regular manicures (with varnish) and colour gel polish?
The IBX System’s makers bill this product as “the first pre-manicure salon treatment that repairs and strengthens nails” and it’s finally available in Europe.
The IBX system is also an intensive treatment which can be used as a complete protective shield under any Colour Gel Polish Coating or regular varnish Manicure to improve the nail plate integrity.
A full coat of IBX Repair is applied first and acts as the fusion layer before the above is applied. This helps to reduce the “white spots” that sometimes occur on the surface of the natural nail, when the colour is left on for too long!
IBX-6
Think of IBX as a built-in insurance policy for your nails. It can be used underneath Shellac, Gel Colour, Natural Nail Varnish, as well as alone on bare nails, simultaneously toughening and protecting the natural nail. Give your nails the length, strength and durability they deserve with IBX.
