Her Story
Meet Gil
where creativity meets careI'm Gil — a premium manicure prep tech and the heart behind Glow by Gil, a home nail studio in Orpington, South East London built on a foundation of creativity, precision and genuine care. What started as a passion for nail art has grown into a space where people come not just for beautiful nails, but to feel seen, heard and well looked after.
The studio is a calm, welcoming space where you can relax, be yourself and leave with nails you love. I allow longer appointment times because I believe every set deserves the time to be done properly — because your nails deserve more than a rush job.
Every set is its own piece of work, customised to suit your style, your lifestyle and your hands. Whether you want something clean and minimal or bold and expressive, I'll make sure it's exactly right for you.
My faith in Jesus is at the heart of everything I do. I try to reflect that through the care I bring to every appointment, the patience I pour into every detail and a genuine desire for every client to leave feeling their absolute best.

What is Glow Luxe Manicure?
The Glow Luxe Manicure is my signature prep experience — included in every single appointment at no extra cost. Every client receives meticulous cuticle work, nail shaping, surface prep and a health-focused approach before any product goes on.
It's the foundation that makes the rest of the set last, look clean and feel right.
