Nails on the Central Coast

Darling, that's the point. Glow Beauty Space offers professional nail services at both the Wamberal and North Narrabeen locations — manicures and pedicures that go beyond a quick polish and call it done. The Glow approach includes proper exfoliation, massage, nailcare, and Shellac application for a finish that actually lasts. If your hands and feet are the last thing you attend to, it might be time to rethink that.

What to Expect

Glow offers two core nail services: manicures and pedicures. Both are designed as complete treatments — not an express file-and-paint.

Manicure

Glow describes their manicure as "a face lift for your fingers." It includes:

  • Gentle exfoliation — removes dead skin from hands and around the nail
  • Hand relaxation massage — proper massage, not a token rub
  • Nailcare — shaping, cuticle care, and nail health assessment
  • Shellac polish application — gel-formula polish that cures under UV/LED light; significantly more durable than regular polish

Shellac manicures typically last 2–3 weeks without chipping when applied correctly and maintained well. The appointment takes approximately 45–60 minutes.

Pedicure

The pedicure covers feet and toes with the same thorough approach:

  • Exfoliating scrub — removes dry, rough skin from heels and the sole
  • Relaxing foot massage — focuses on the foot, heel, and lower leg
  • Nailcare — toenail shaping, cuticle care
  • Shellac polish — same durable formula as the manicure

Pedicure appointments take approximately 60–75 minutes. Pedicures at Glow are a proper treatment — not just a polish.

What Is Shellac?

Shellac is a hybrid gel-polish brand (from CND) that applies like regular polish but cures under UV/LED light. The result is significantly more durable than air-dry polish — it doesn't chip in the first two days, doesn't dent while wet, and maintains shine throughout its lifespan. It's removed by soaking in acetone — it should not be peeled off.

Who Is This Best For

Nail services at Glow suit:

  • Working professionals who need hands that hold up — Shellac doesn't chip on keyboards, at desks, or through a regular work week the way standard polish does
  • Anyone with weak or brittle nails — the Shellac formula provides a protective layer that supports the natural nail during wear
  • Those who spend time in the water — beach, pool, ocean swimming doesn't destroy Shellac the way it destroys regular polish; it's the better choice for an active lifestyle near the water
  • Regular nail clients who want a consistent, quality finish — not a rushed result from an unfamiliar technician
  • Pre-event bookings — manicures and pedicures booked 2–3 days before an event give the Shellac time to fully cure and any minor swelling from pedicure massage to settle

Aftercare

Shellac is durable but not indestructible:

  • Wear gloves for cleaning and gardening — household chemicals and extended water exposure shorten Shellac lifespan
  • Moisturise cuticles daily — dry cuticles lift Shellac at the base faster; cuticle oil applied daily makes a real difference
  • Don't peel or pick Shellac off — this removes layers of the natural nail with it; always have it properly removed
  • Book removal or reapply at 2–3 weeks — leaving Shellac beyond 3 weeks can cause the nail to absorb moisture under the seal and weaken

Removal

Shellac is removed by wrapping nails in acetone-soaked cotton and foil for 10–15 minutes, then gently pushing off the lifted product. This should always be done professionally or with proper technique at home — peeling causes nail damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Shellac actually last?

With proper application and good aftercare, Shellac typically lasts 2–3 weeks without chipping. The main factors that shorten it are excessive water exposure, chemical contact (cleaning products), and dry cuticles that lift the edge of the product.

Can I get Shellac if my nails are very short?

Yes. Shellac works on short nails — it doesn't require length. In fact, short nails with Shellac often hold up better than longer nails that can flex and cause the product to crack.

What's the difference between Shellac and gel nails?

Shellac is a specific brand of hybrid gel-polish applied in thin layers like polish and cured under UV/LED light. Traditional gel nails are thicker, sometimes involve nail extensions or overlays, and are typically harder to remove. Shellac is closer to a polished finish with gel durability; gel nails are more structural.

Can I get a pedicure if I have a fungal nail infection?

No. Glow's therapists won't service nails with active fungal infection — both for your health and to avoid cross-contamination. See a doctor or podiatrist first. Once treated and resolved, pedicure services are absolutely fine.

Do the manicure or pedicure include nail art?

Standard services include Shellac in a solid colour. Nail art additions (French, patterns, accents) can be added for an extra charge. Ask at booking.
