Biosculpture, Shellac, or Lola Lee? A Guide to Choosing Your Nail System

With three strong nail systems on our menu, we get asked constantly which one is “best.” The honest answer is that it depends on what your nails need and how you live — so here’s a straightforward comparison to help you choose at your next booking. Biosculpture Base Gel Best for: strengthening weak, damaged, or peeling natural nails A thin, flexible gel that soaks into and reinforces the natural nail rather than sitting on top of it. Ideal if your priority is nail health as much as appearance. CND Shellac Best for: reliable, chip-resistant colour with easy removal The industry benchmark gel polish, now with an expanded shade range and a choice of base coats matched to your nail condition. A great all-rounder if you want colour that lasts roughly two weeks without commitment to a thicker overlay. Lola Lee Gel Polish Best for: colour range and a glassy, high-shine finish Rich pigmentation and an extensive shade wall make Lola Lee a favourite for clients who prioritise exact colour matching — from subtle nudes to bold statement shades.

Quick decision guide: Nails feel weak or damaged → start with Biosculpture You want dependable, long-wearing colour → CND Shellac You’re colour-first and want the widest shade choice → Lola Lee Still unsure? Tell your therapist what your nails have been through recently (gym, biting, recent acrylics) and they’ll steer you toward the system that fits.
