Gel Nails Take A Twist at Le Petit Spa


Looking for a nail treatment that will strengthen and protect your nails from breakage?

Many people will experience weak nails at some point in their lifetime. Stress, poor diet or medication can all cause nails to break, stop growing or become brittle and peel which can be stressful in itself if you aren’t exactly sure as to what’s causing it.

There are many great nail strengthening products on the market these days, such as Nail Envy by OPI which protects your nails and covers your nail bed with a high gloss shine.

The newest nail strengthening treatment on the market comes in gel form: Bio Sculpture Gel Nails are a first of its kind as they double as a nail strengthening treatment as well as gel nails.

How are Bio Sculpture Gel Nails different than regular gel nails?

Not only do they give an appearance of long, strong natural nails; they are an actual overlay that protects your natural nail while they grow out strong and healthy.

They come in a range of colors, and you can choose from a natural look, or a French Manicure look (which is perfect for
brides!).

Bio Sculpture Gel Nails are the first of its kind to also receive a five star safety rating for the client and the technician as there are no chemical fumes omitted, no inhalation of dust particles or odours.

This service is new to Le Petit Spa as of the middle of May…Check out Mani Day at Le Petit Spa. Come into Le Petit Spa on a Monday for one of our spa manicures and receive a special deal…
