Hi, I’m Amanda, a Gel Nail Specialist dedicated to using only high-quality nail products.

The brands I work with are often exclusive and not typically found in standard walk-in nail salons.

With 30 years of experience as a licensed Manicurist, I’ve witnessed the industry evolve significantly.

Continuing my education in nail artistry is something I truly value; there’s always more to learn!

My goal is to guide clients in selecting the best options for their nails, while also cutting down on salon upkeep.

STRUCTURED GEL OVERLAY

TIME: 1HR 10 MIN

PRICE: $80

Kokist Japanese Gel bases create a long-lasting manicure, offering strength and flexibility, allowing your nails to grow to your desired length. The Structure service is ideal for anyone looking to grow out their nails or dealing with issues like splitting, peeling, or ski jump nails. It provides excellent support for damaged nails—not your average gel!

To maintain the integrity of your manicure, I recommend scheduling maintenance appointments every 3 to 4 weeks. This involves rebalancing the nails, and complete removal is not necessary. Each appointment includes nail shaping, trimming, a dry manicure, base coat, color, and topcoat (available in shiny or matte). Nail art can also be added for a personalized touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

My nails never last with gel.

Most likely you have been wearing Gel Polish on damaged nails. Healthy nails do better with GP but those with damage may need stronger products. GP is just more of a quick dry color for your nails. It does not add strength and is meant to last 10-12 days only before complete removal.

A Sructure Gel Overlay may also be called BIAB, Builder in a Bottle or Builder Gel.

WHAT ARE JAPANESE GEL EXTENSIONS?

Full Cover Nail Extensions are a popular option for achieving long-lasting, durable, and beautifully shaped nails. They’re designed to be a one-piece solution, offering both a nail extension and a protective layer over the natural nail. Here’s a more detailed description:

These are pre-formed nail tips that cover the entire nail plate. They come in various shapes and sizes to fit the natural curvature of the nail and provide an even, smooth surface.
Kokoist Gelip extensions are made from high-quality gel, which makes them more flexible and lightweight compared to acrylic extensions. The gel allows for a more natural look and feel.
The gel material is known for its durability and resistance to chips and cracks. The extensions can last several weeks when applied properly, making them a great option for those who want low-maintenance nails.
Kokoist Gelip extensions can be shaped, filed, and painted just like regular gel nails. They allow for a high level of customization in terms of length, shape, and color.
Because they are made from gel, the extensions are much lighter than acrylic options. This makes them more comfortable to wear for extended periods.
The gel composition helps them blend well with the natural nail, offering a more seamless transition between the extension and the real nail. The result is a clean, polished, and elegant look.

These extensions are popular among people who want a polished look without committing to heavy acrylics, and they’re perfect for those who prefer a more flexible, durable, and natural alternative to traditional nail extensions.

Why do you use Japanese Gel?

I prefer them because they do not contain harmful ingredients. These gels do not dry out your nails, or discolor. They are odor-free, and cruelty-free.

Why don't you soak-off the nails?

Structure does not require a removal. To maintain your overlay schedule every 3-4 weeks. If there is lifting that will be removed. The color is gently filed down, filled and repolished.
