Nail Care Essentials: From Classic to Creative

Your hands and feet deserve more than just basic maintenance. At Gilded Dreams, our nail technicians combine technical expertise with artistic flair, delivering treatments that leave you polished, protected, and perfectly pampered.

The Foundation of Healthy Nails

Before colour comes care. Every professional nail treatment at Gilded Dreams begins with:

Thorough cleaning — Removing old polish, dirt, and bacteria
Nail shaping — Filing to your preferred shape (squoval, almond, square, or oval)
Cuticle work — Gently pushing back and tidying cuticles (never cutting—this causes infection)
Hand/foot massage — Improving circulation and softening skin
Exfoliation — Removing dead skin for a smooth finish
