Manicure at Home in Bangkok

Salon nails, your sofa

A relaxed, thorough manicure without a salon trip. Add a pedicure or a hand and foot oil massage to make it a full pamper.

What the manicure sequence looks like

Knowing the steps removes the awkwardness of sitting still wondering what's next. A standard at-home manicure runs through this.

1. Remove old polish (if any) with non-acetone remover — gentler on nails.
2. Soak in warm water for a couple of minutes to soften cuticles.
3. Shape — file to your preferred shape (square, round, oval, almond).
4. Cuticle work — push back and trim dead cuticle carefully. We never cut live skin.
5. Buff the nail surface lightly so polish grips.
6. Base coat → colour → top coat, with drying time between each.
7. Hand massage with a light moisturiser if you've added the oil massage upgrade.

Polish options

• Regular polish — the standard. Lasts 5–7 days without chips if you're gentle.
• Gel polish — we carry a UV lamp if you want it. Lasts 2–3 weeks. Takes longer (45–60 minutes total) because of the cure time under the lamp.
• No polish — buffed natural finish. A clean, neat look for short stays.

Tell us on WhatsApp which you want, and if gel, bring any specific brand preference — we carry common shades but not every brand.

When not to book a manicure

• You have a fresh cut, blister or open wound on the hand.
• You've had nail extensions removed in the last 48 hours (nail bed is soft).
• You're heading straight to a pool or sea — give the polish a couple of hours to fully harden first.
