The Method

Clean lines start
at the cuticle.

Every set at GLOSS begins with a Russian manicure. There is no soaking: the cuticle is refined dry, with an e‑file, more thoroughly than in a traditional manicure. Your nails look cleaner from the first day, and the cuticle grows back more slowly.

Then a gel base goes on to strengthen your natural nails and help prevent breakage, so your colour stays intact for three to five weeks. Every service finishes with nourishing cuticle oil and cream.

“Cleaner cuticles. Slower regrowth. Three to five weeks of gloss.”
