Getting a manicure should be a treasured pamper session but all too often it’s a quick in and out experience at a shopping centre nail bar where a fast turnover is the aim of their game. And the hygiene levels are questionable.

Enter the Nail Lounge. They’re bringing back the luxury of a mani and pedi, with their trained beauticians, relaxing atmosphere, cute decor and comfy chairs. The new salon is located in Surry Hills so it’s perfect for long lunch getaways from your desk mid-week. 

The lounge is run by Bio Sculpture Gel, a nail brand that specialises in gel nails that won’t damage the nail underneath, but more on that later. They have 180 colours to choose from so you’re spoilt for choice, although as my Bio Sculpture Nail Artist, Jessica told me, most people choose either a bright shade like the new #172 Favela Sunrise from the Carnival Collection, a rich red like #74 Real Red or something nude (try #146 Mute).

Come on girls, live a little!

I tried the new Carnival Collection #173 Ipanema Sunset (a almost-fluro pink shade) gel nail colour. Third week in and they’re still going strong!

Ok back to why you should try Bio Sculpture Gel. Bio Sculpture Gel contains a unique gel formulation that is 5 star safety rated by Australia’s strict standards and naturally bonds to your nail. There’s no damaging artificial bonders, no nasty primers, no more brittle nails hiding under the gel. Your nails will actually be left stronger and healthier than before. Bio Sculpture Gel will last up to three weeks on fingers and six weeks on toes. Less visits, better nails. It’s win win.

So if your nails are in need of some TLC, prettifying, or your current polish is chipped (yes, I’m talking to you, don’t think I didn’t notice), then book yourself in to the Nail Lounge and don’t give them another thought for three weeks when it’s time to pick your next nail colour.
