Gel Nails - Kelowna

My gel work is all about soft, structured, wearable nails that feel like you. I focus on gentle, detailed prep, healthy natural nails, and designs that look just as good in real life as they do in photos.

Whether you love clean, glossy overlays or a little bit of art, every set is built with care, comfort, and long-lasting wear in mind.

  • Soft, elevated aesthetics — think neutrals, soft tones, and art that feels polished, not overwhelming

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Your appointment is more than just “getting your nails done.” Here’s what you can expect when you sit at my table:

  1. A quick chat about your nails & goals
    We’ll talk about your nail history, lifestyle, and what you’re hoping for — length, shape, color, and any concerns.

  2. Clean, careful prep
    I take my time with prep to respect your natural nails, reduce lifting, and keep everything feeling comfortable.

  3. Structured gel application
    I build shape and strength that suits your nails and your day-to-day life — not just what looks good in a photo.

  4. Finishing touches
    We refine shape, add color or art, and make sure you’re happy with the final look before you leave.

  5. Simple aftercare tips
    You’ll leave with realistic tips to help your nails last and grow out beautifully between visits.

  • Existing clients receive priority booking.
