Transform Your Nails with Precision and Care at Nails Canteras

In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Nails Canteras stands out as a salon for those seeking impeccable nail care. Under the expert hands of Maja, a skilled nail technician, the process of removing old gel lac nails and applying fresh ones using EMI products is a meticulous art.

Gentle Removal Process

Maja begins by gently buffing the surface of your nails with an electric nail file, preparing them for the next steps. This device allows her to precisely remove the top layer of gel lac, ensuring a smooth transition to the next phase of removal. With a specialized bit, she carefully eliminates any remaining layers of gel lac, all while maintaining the integrity of your natural nails.

Thorough Nail Preparation

Once the old gel lac is removed, Maja meticulously cleanses your nails to remove any residue from the filing process. She pays special attention to cuticle care, gently pushing them back to ensure they are neat and well-groomed before proceeding with the application of new gel lac nails.

Personalized Shape and Style

Before applying the new gel lac nails, Maja discusses and helps you choose the shape and length that best suits your preferences and lifestyle. Whether you prefer a classic square shape, trendy almond, or practical round nails, she ensures each nail is shaped with precision to complement your hands or feet.

Application of EMI Gel Lac Nails

With the nails now prepared, Maja starts by applying a thin layer of EMI base coat. This foundational step not only helps in the adherence of the gel lac but also enhances the durability of your manicure or pedicure. Using her expertise, she applies the chosen EMI gel lac color or design with precision. Each layer is carefully applied and cured under an LED lamp to ensure quick drying and maximum longevity.

Depending on your preference and the desired look, Maja may apply multiple layers of gel lac, ensuring each coat is cured thoroughly to achieve vibrant color and flawless finish. Once satisfied with the color and design, she completes the process with a final layer of EMI top coat. This top coat seals in the color, adds a glossy shine, and provides protection against chipping and dulling.

Final Touches and Aftercare

After applying the gel lac nails, Maja meticulously inspects each nail to ensure perfection. Any excess gel around the cuticles or edges is carefully removed to achieve a clean and polished look. To complete the treatment, she applies cuticle oil and gently massages it into your cuticles and surrounding skin. This step not only nourishes but also hydrates your nails, leaving them looking and feeling healthy.

    A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
