Long shot but gel nails in Portsmouth?

[itsbetterthanabox]

I really want gel nails. As in gel nail extensions not shellac. Does anyone know anywhere that does these? I can't seem to find anywhere in portsmouth. A lot seem to only do a gel acrylic powder mix but not looking for that.
Hoping someone knows!
If not I might have to go for acrylics so where is just the best nail place in Portsmouth?

You could try posting in the consumer queries forum on SalonGeek - it's a forum used by lots of beauty professionals, including nail technicians. Someone may be able to help with a recommendation.

Lovely Nails in Marmion Road in Southsea is very good. They do gel
Nails - don't know about gel extensions though.

Thanks I'll try that site.
I already went on lovely nails Facebook and asked and unfortunately they only do gel powder nails which are just acrylics with a gel topcoat.

If nowhere offers gel nails I'm guessing there's a reason - whether it's cost of equipment, lack of training available or they aren't as durable or whatever - may be worth finding out why they are so hard to come by? You could ask on the Salongeek site and get some advice about the best options for what you want.

They do them everywhere else it seems! I'm in Edinburgh at the moment and nearly every salon does them. Just not portsmouth. They are a bit more expensive but are less damaging to nails, lighter and more natural looking.
