The IBX System is an innovative 2-part strengthening system, made to toughen, repair and protect the natural nail.  It is the first treatment of its kind.  It works inside the nail, not on top, meaning it can be used as a treatment and protective shield underneath gel polish. IBX is applied after a full manicure and prior to the shellac polish. It takes an additional 20 minutes to apply. Total service time is approx 90 minutes.

​

IBX/Shellac Standard Manicure - Second ++ Applications:  £45

IBX is reapplied at the second and subsequent shellac manicure services to provide continued strength, additional repair where required and protection.

​

​

IBX is reapplied at the second and subsequent no-polish manicure services to provide ongoing repair, strength and protection.  When growing out your natural nails with the help of IBX, a weekly service is recommended, initially for the first 4-6 weeks, depending on the level of repair and strength of the nail as it grows.  Thereafter - an application every 2-3 weeks is perfect.

To care for your Shellac nails:

- do not use your nails to pick at things; to open canned foods and drinks or scratch surfaces.  When your manicure service is carried out, the tips of your nails are sealed with every layer, base coat, colour coat(s) and a top coat. Your nails are not tools! If you use them in this way, the sealed edges will wear away and the polish may chip, lift and peel.  

- use the Solar Oil given at your first appointment to get into good habits.  Applying Solar Oil will help keep the polish plasticised and supple; the nail plate nourished and the cuticles soft. It really does make a difference. You have been told!!

​

Summer Nail Care:

Over-exposure of sunlight along with other holiday-related chemicals can affect the longevity or overall look of a manicure. Always remember to wash your hands after applying such products to wash away any excess product lingering that could cause this damage.

​

If your nails are constantly wet, this can be a factor that causes wear and tear. Not only can water damage your manicure and pedicure but the chemicals in pools and spa’s can affect your nails. Remember to make sure you dry them off thoroughly after and have your cuticle oil handy to restore and re-hydrate your nails.

​

Sun protection products including creams and lotions and products such as insect repellents contain a product called DEET, which can be detrimental to your manicure and cause colour to fade or go patchy.

Always remember to wash your hands after applying such products to wash away any excess product lingering that could cause this damage.

​

We all know keeping your hands and feet moisturised is key. However, some creams and lotions can leave a residue or product build-up near the nails that could affect your gel polish, colour or extensions. Using a non-greasy, lanolin-free cream is the best way to protect your hands and feet.

​

Bottles of Solar Oil and Rescue RXX are available from the salon at £6 and £8 respectively.
