Gel polish in Chennai.
Updated 27 October 2026
Colour that cures hard under the lamp and holds about three weeks on hands, longer on toes. ₹1,000 for hands or feet, ₹1,300 for a French, ₹1,700 with the manicure or pedicure. Your own nail, prepped, coloured, sealed: no extensions, no acrylic.
The standard here
Three weeks on, soaked off, never scraped.
The polish is not what damages nails; the removal is. Every gel set here comes off with a soak and a gentle file (₹400), and the nail is checked under magnification before the next colour goes on. If a nail is lifting or infected, we tell you and leave it bare.
Prices as of 9 November 2026. Offers, when there are any, are applied on the booking page.
Colour that lasts
01 — Polish or manicure
Colour only, or the tidy-up too?
Gel polish (₹1,000) is colour on nails that are already in shape: a light prep, the colour, the seal. A gel polish manicure (₹1,700) adds cuticle work and shaping first, which is what makes the colour sit flat to the skin and last the full three weeks. If it has been more than a month since your last manicure, book the manicure.
02 — Polish or BIAB
Colour, or strength?
Gel polish adds colour, not structure. If your nails bend, peel or split at the free edge, colour alone will chip early. BIAB (₹2,200) puts a thin, flexible layer of builder gel under the colour and is the route we suggest for weak nails; this guide goes through the difference.
03 — Polish or extensions
Your length, or added length.
Gel polish keeps your own length. For more, extensions start at ₹2,200 for both hands with colour included, and the same nail art prices apply on either.
04 — How long it lasts
About three weeks on hands, longer on toes.
Gel polish holds about three weeks on hands and often longer on toes. Early chipping usually comes from skipped prep, oil left on the plate, or picking at a lifted edge. Cuticle oil daily and gloves for wet work stretch the wear; see how long gel lasts here.
05 — Removal
Soaked, filed, checked.
Removal is ₹400: the top coat is broken, the gel soaked, the rest lifted with a gentle file. Peeling gel off takes the top layer of the nail with it, which is where thin, bendy nails come from; the Journal note on removal explains why we refuse to scrape.

How long does gel polish last?

Does gel polish damage your nails?
The polish does not; peeling or scraping it off does. We soak it off and file gently, and we check the nail plate before the next colour.
Gel polish or BIAB for weak nails?
BIAB. Gel polish adds colour only; BIAB adds a thin, flexible layer of strength under it, ₹2,200 for both hands.
Can I get gel polish on toes only?
Yes: ₹1,000, 45 minutes. The gel polish pedicure (₹1,700) adds the pedicure first.
What is the difference between gel polish and a gel manicure?
Gel polish is the colour alone, on nails already in shape. The gel polish manicure adds cuticle work and shaping before the colour, which helps it last the full three weeks.
