Classic / regular manicure
- Best for
- A familiar refresh, regular or gel polish, and a shorter visit.
- Prep
- Soak, push back cuticles, trim and tidy.
- Colour
- Regular polish or gel—your choice at booking.
- Typical wear
- Roughly a few days to about two weeks, depending on polish type and habits.
- Pros
- Flexible, widely understood, and usually the quickest option.
- Cons
- Softer cuticle architecture than dry prep; soaking can temporarily swell the nail plate.
