Want to get your nails done in Solihull?  

Having your nails done provides you with some instant glamour. It doesn’t even need to be for a special occasion. If you’re working from home, or playing with the kids, it’s satisfying to have beautiful nails.  

Most nail bars in Solihull offer a range of different services, so it’s useful to know what kind of nails you want.  

Manicures  
You could opt for a simple manicure if your own nails are strong, and you’re on a budget. Your nails will be shaped, the cuticles removed, and a coloured nail polish of your choice applied. If it’s holiday time for you, you might want to get a matching pedicure at the same time.  

Gel nails in Solihull  
Gel nails are one of the most popular choices for people wanting hard wearing and striking nails in Solihull. A particular type of nail polish is used that is cured under a UV lamp to harden the polish and keep t glossy and long-lasting. Gel nails will typically last for 2-3 weeks.  

There are several different types of gel nails:  

• BIAB (Builder In A Bottle) nails are hard-wearing and long lasting and the strength of this gel will help your own nails to grow. They will need to be infilled approximately every 3 weeks.  
• Acrylic nails are good if you want instant long nails, and these will also need to be infilled every 3 weeks.  
• Shellac gel nails look and feel really natural and will last approx. 3 weeks before they need to be soaked off and re-applied. Shellac is like a hybrid between a nail polish and a gel.  
• Calgel is harder and thicker than Shellac, however it’s also pretty flexible and so is unlikely to chip. It should last approx. 6 weeks before it needs to be soaked off and re-applied.  

Shape and colour  
Nail polishes and gel nails come in a wide variety of colours. So whether you fancy a traditional red, a light pink for Spring, a dark plum for the Winter or a certain shade of blue to complement a particular outfit, you’ll be able to find whatever colour floats your boat. And if you can’t decide, that’s fine, there’s no rule saying you have to only have one colour. Sometimes people have one nail in a contrasting colour, or in a sparkly version of the same colour. Or you could be brave and go for rainbow nails in Solihull!  

Some people like really square edged nails, while others like long and tapered. If you’re not too sure what takes your fancy, you could start with a combination of the two, known as ‘squoval’ which is a rounded edge on a squarish nail. This is probably one of the most popular shapes at nails bars in Solihull.  

Embellishments  
If you’re feeling creative, why not ask the nail bar in Solihull you visit to add a pattern into your nails, whether it’s on one of them or all of them. You could match the season and have heart shapes on your nails in February, or snowflakes in the Winter. Or add shapes like swirls or squares into your design, or maybe ask for Ombre nails, where 2 colours merge into each other. Some nail bars in Solihull can also add 3D features to your nails, such as thin raised lines, pretty crystals, or delicate flowers.  

Whatever nail bar in Solihull you choose, enjoy the time to relax while they do your nails, and be bold and experiment with new ideas. After all, even if you don’t love the final design, they won’t last forever – so just start planning your next nail design!
