How did you hear about Glow by Gil? (optional)

Which service are you after?

Not sure? No worries — I'll help you decide when I get in touch.

Builder Gel Full Set from £40 Structured builder-gel overlay on your natural nails (the treatment you may know as BIAB) — strong, flexible and great for nail health.

Builder Gel Infill from £37 A detailed maintenance appointment for your existing builder-gel (BIAB) set.

Gel X Full Set from £45 Soft gel extensions — adds length and shape. Perfect if you want longer nails without acrylics.

Gel X Infill from £42 A detailed maintenance appointment for your existing Gel X set — shaped, rebuilt and refreshed. Available once per set, and only if it has retained well.

Gel Polish from £30 Classic gel colour on your natural nails — no extensions. Glow Luxe Manicure prep included. Nail art tiers apply in the same way as Builder Gel and Gel X.

Removal Only £18 Full removal, mini tidy and aftercare advice — no new set.

Not sure yet That's okay — I'll help you figure out the best option when we speak.

Not sure which service to choose? See the full price list or let Gil know in your inspo notes — she'll help you decide when she gets in touch.

What nail art design are you going for?

Choose your design tier — this sets the level of nail art on your set. Every tier includes the Glow Luxe Manicure prep. Additions are on top of the base service price. See full tier details →

Tier 1 — Clean Glow inc. in base price One colour or near-plain: solid, sheer/milky or matte. Up to 3 simple accents included — line work, dots, a small heart.

Tier 2 — Soft Glow +£15 One cohesive design across your nails — blooming gel, marble, ombré, elevated French, foils, animal print. Hand-painted art techniques are included; chrome, cat-eye, gems and 3D are add-ons.

Tier 3 — Signature Glow +£30 Hand-painted art, a different design per nail, or layered mixed techniques — my most detailed artwork, given the time it deserves. Everything from Soft Glow included.

Not sure yet I'll help you choose once I see your inspo later in this form.

What length are you thinking?

Longer lengths take more time and product — a small addition applies. View extension lengths guide →

Short / Medium inc. in base price Up to medium length — clean and practical.

Long +£5 Noticeably long — statement nails that still look elegant and wearable.

Extra Long +£8 Drama-length extensions for a bold, maximalist look.

Not sure yet Let me know your thoughts in the inspo section and we'll figure it out together.

Any finishing touches?

Your tier already covers the artwork — these are speciality gels, physical pieces and repairs. Tick anything that applies, or skip and describe it in your inspo notes.

Speciality gels

Chrome / aurora — 1–3 nails +£5

Chrome / aurora — 4+ nails +£8
