Artificial nails in Blue Lagoon Beauty

In our Blue Lagoon beauty salons, we have priced our artificial nail services according to the skill level of the nail technician! We offer pro and junior level artificial nails so you can choose the solution that best suits your needs and budget.

At Blue Lagoon, we only use molds to build the extension, i.e. the whole nail is only acrygel or gel mass. We do not use nail glue or tips. Molds make for a more natural look and are stronger, because there is no adhesive bond between your own nail and the artificial nail, which could become brittle during use.
The recommended maintenance interval for structural nails is 3-4 weeks, depending on the growth of your own nail. In maintenance, the old mass is filed and the growth is filled to the base. Every service has the possibility to change the style of the nails.

Artificial nails do not damage your own nail if properly applied and maintained. It is therefore absolutely important that the technician is a professional in the use of a file or an electric file. We do not recommend that customers file the nails (other than shortening) or use glue if any damage occurs and the material comes off the surface of the nail.

There is no need to take a break from artificial nails if the nails are well done. According to urban legend, nails cannot breathe under artificial nails, but in reality, if properly cared for, nails can last for several years. We do not recommend artificial nails for the still growing and developing nails of young customers, which is why our age limit for artificial nails is 16 years.

Nail polish shades for artificial nails

In our beauty salons, you can find a wide selection of CrystaLac polishes, which we use for painting the artificial nails. If you wish, the nails can also be left unpainted, if you want a result that is as natural as possible and even slightly translucent. Our range of shades includes the so-called basic selection, salon’s own shades and seasonal colors. Please note that not all lacquer shades visible in e.g. social media photos may always be available at all locations, as there may be differences in salon-specific shade selections.

Long nails & nail decorations

If you want long artificial nails or nail decorations, book the necessary extra services in addition to the nail service. If you want long decorative nails, you must book from the extra services: “Extra service for long artificial nails” and the desired decoration service, e.g. “Extra service – All inclusive nail decorations”.

Long nails

Book an extra service for long nails if the final measurement of the structure from the cuticle area to the tip of the structure is at least 2.5 cm. Making long nails requires special skills and can take more time.

All inclusive MINI decorations

Simple nail decorations, such as foils, glitters, chromes and individual diamonds. Paintings are not part of all inclusive MINI services.

French or baby boomer painting

A French or baby boomer is a French polish made with white or with colour or baby boomer (faded French).

All inclusive decorations

All inclusive includes a natural, monochromatic polish, French or baby boomer for the base. The possibility of getting different bases for different nails as well. All inclusive also includes all the decorations that can be made within the time frame. In connection with all-inclusive decorations, for example, different unique, abstract or simple paintings and larger diamond arrangements can be made.

Nail shapes

We often talk about the color of the nail polish or nail decorations, but forget that the shape of the nails has a lot to do with how the hands and fingers look. There is a wide selection of nail shapes and there is no single correct one. By changing the style of your nails, you can get a completely new look for yourself. Everyone is sure to find their favorite among the many models. When choosing the shape of your nails, you should pay attention to the model of your own hands and fingers. Our nail technicians know how to evaluate the most suitable shape for your needs and nails.

Changing from one nail service to another

Changing from artificial nails to gel polish

When switching to gel polish, the artificial nails must always be removed first. If you want a single-color gel polish, make an appointment for the “Artificial nail removal + CrystaLac gel polish” service. If, on the other hand, you want e.g. decorations for the polish, then book an appointment for “Artificial nail removal + IBX” and for the new CrystaLac gel polish according to the style you choose (French / babyboomer / decorative, all inclusive MINI or all inclusive).

Changing artificial nails done in Blue Lagoon Beauty or elsewhere to natural nail overlay

If you have artificial nails done at Blue Lagoon Beauty or elsewhere, you can book an appointment directly for the new natural nail overlay service according to the style you choose (one-coloured / French / baby boomer / decorative all inclusive). In connection with the treatment, + 15 € will be charged for changing the service.

The skill levels of our nail technicians

Pro-level artificial nails

A pro-level nail technician is competent in basic technique and different nail styles. The technique, the use of time, product knowledge and making challenging nails are developed by a pro-level nail technician. Making nails is a craft, as is making decorations on nails. If you bite your nails, have really short nails or wish for special and impressive nails, we recommend you make an appointment with a pro-level nail technician. Each of our nail professionals has an individual style and their own expertise in nail decoration.

Junior level artificial nails

A junior nail technician knows the basic technique. If necessary, the technician gets help in the salon from a pro-level nail professional. The finish is neat and the product knowledge is basic. Time management is more advanced than a trainee-level nail technician. In terms of decorating skills, there may be differences between junior level nail technicians. We use acrygel or gel as the material for artificial nails, but please note that not all junior level nail technicians necessarily master all different masses.

Nails with quality guarantee

All our professionals go through our unique quality processes, with which we guarantee consistent and high-quality service experiences for our customers. We recommend getting to know our professionals and their work samples on our team page, so that you can find the most suitable nail professional for you.

Blue Lagoon Beauty purchases the service from an external service provider. According to the agreement, each service provider is responsible for the work they do.
