Radiant by Fran
Gel Manicure & Pedicure in Weston-super-Mare
Gel that lasts two weeks — because the prep is half the job. Gel manicures and pedicures with Fran. From £25.
Why gel polish actually chips early
If your gel polish lifts within a week, it's almost never the product. It's prep. Oil on the natural nail, cuticles that haven't been pushed back properly, or a rushed buff — any of these and the polish has nothing to grip.
At Radiant by Fran, every gel appointment starts with the unglamorous but essential bit: file, push back cuticles, buff, dehydrate. Only then does colour go anywhere near the nail. That's why a gel manicure with Fran holds for two weeks without chipping.
What to expect
A gel manicure takes around forty-five minutes. A pedicure is closer to an hour, plus longer if you add heated booties. You'll sit back while Fran works through the full treatment — nothing rushed, nothing skipped.
Fran uses professional-grade gel polish and a high-quality UV lamp. Every client gets fresh, sanitised tools.
Aftercare
Gel polish is durable but not invincible. Avoid prolonged soaking (bath, washing up gloves help), oil nails lightly once a week to keep cuticles healthy, and book a soak-off removal rather than picking at lifted edges — picking tears layers off the natural nail.
Most clients rebook every two to three weeks.

Frequently asked questions
How long does gel polish last?
Two weeks of full shine, occasionally longer if aftercare is good.
Is gel bad for my nails?
Not when applied and removed properly. The damage comes from picking or peeling gel off, which takes natural nail layers with it. Always have Fran soak it off.
Can I get gel on short or weak nails?
Yes — gel polish can actually protect weaker nails by adding a durable layer.
Do you do nail extensions?
Not currently — Fran focuses on natural nail manicures and pedicures with gel polish.
