Nail Care at Lush
Beauty Essex
Nail treatments at Lush Beauty Essex cover everything from a simple, relaxing manicure through to strengthening overlays such as BIAB and builder gel, designed for clients who want their natural nails supported rather than covered with extensions. Every manicure includes proper nail preparation and cuticle care before any colour or finish is applied. Builder gel and BIAB treatments in particular are aimed at clients with weak, flexible or slow growing nails who want more structure without giving up their natural nail underneath.

What to Expect From Your Nail Appointment
Every manicure begins with nail shaping and cuticle care before any colour or overlay is applied. If you are removing a previous set, gel or shellac treatment, this is booked as part of the appointment so your nails are properly prepared beforehand. BIAB and builder gel treatments take longer than a classic manicure since they involve building structure over your natural nail, so allow extra time for these appointments. Nail art and finishes such as chrome or French tips can usually be added on to most manicures if you let Albina know when booking.
Why Choose Lush Beauty Essex for Nails
Strengthening treatments like BIAB and builder gel work best when applied and removed properly, so poor technique can do more harm than good to your natural nails over time. Albina carries out every nail treatment personally in her private Buckhurst Hill studio, and because she sees the same clients for repeat appointments, she can track how your natural nails are growing and adjust her approach between visits rather than treating each appointment in isolation.
Helping people look and feel their best.
Choosing the Right Nail Treatment
If you want your natural nails cared for without any overlay, a Classic or Gel/Shellac Manicure is the simplest option, with Gel/Shellac lasting longer before chipping. If your nails are weak, flexible or slow to grow, BIAB adds support while still allowing natural growth underneath. Builder Gel goes a step further, with an option to add extension length as well as strength. Nail Finishes & Art can be added to most manicures for extra definition, from a simple chrome or French tip through to more detailed nail art.
