Manicure with French Gel

From £50
60 Min

Manicure with French gel at Merluza Hair & Beauty combines classic elegance with long-lasting shine. This timeless look features a natural pink or nude base with crisp white tips, applied using durable gel polish for a flawless finish that resists chipping and stays beautiful for weeks.

What is It?

A French gel manicure uses professional gel polish to create the iconic white-tipped look, with a glossy, chip-resistant finish. Gel polish cures under a UV or LED lamp, ensuring long wear without smudging. At Merluza, we shape your nails, care for your cuticles, and apply the French gel with precision for a refined, sophisticated style.
