In the heart of Vancouver, Prép Beauty Parlour is your go to destination for top notch beauty services.

Whether you’re prepping for a special occasion, heading out on vacation, or simply treating yourself, our gel manicures are designed to meet the highest standards of beauty and care.

What is a Gel Manicure?

A gel manicure involves applying a gel-based polish that’s cured under an LED light, creating a durable and glossy finish that lasts longer than regular nail polish. At Prép Beauty Parlour, we use high-quality products and innovative techniques to ensure your nails look stunning and stay chip-free for up to two weeks or more.

Why Choose a Gel Manicure?

  1. Long-Lasting Beauty:
    Say goodbye to chipped polish and constant touch-ups! Gel manicures are designed to withstand daily wear and tear, making them ideal for busy professionals, active lifestyles, or anyone who wants their nails to stay flawless.
  2. A High-Gloss Finish:
    Gel polish delivers a mirror-like shine that doesn’t fade over time. Even after days of wear, your nails will continue to look fresh and vibrant.
  3. Customizable Designs:
    At Prép Beauty Parlour, our talented nail artists can create intricate designs, add embellishments, or achieve the perfect classic look. Gel polish offers the versatility to match any style or mood.
  4. Strengthens Your Nails:
    A gel manicure provides an extra layer of protection, reducing the likelihood of breaks or cracks. It’s a great way to grow out your natural nails while keeping them strong and healthy.
  5. Quick Drying:
    The curing process means no more waiting for your polish to dry—perfect for those with busy schedules or who just can’t resist touching things post manicure!

Coffin, almond, what do nail shapes mean?! | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Nails, Prép Beauty Parlour

Whether you’re a regular at manicures or are looking for nail inspiration on instagram, you’ve probably heard the terms… coffin nails, almond nails, stiletto nails and more… but what if you’re not fully immersed in the world of beauty (or even if you are!) it can be confusing to keep up with all the new trends and know the meanings to all these words. Here is a little cheat sheet you can use to show your nail technician for you next appointment, use as some nail inspiration, or just to learn a little more!

What are terms like coffin nails, almond nails and stiletto nails even referring to?

These are all describing the shape of the nail! At Prép we work with gel extensions, and after your nail technician has crafted the extension she can now shape the nail to whatever suits your preferences.

Stiletto nails

Stiletto nails are very fierce! They are typically long and pointy… looking something similar to this gel extension set done by Kiyomi! Stiletto’s are a shape that you do need to have long nails for, so most ladies usually get their gel extensions shaped like this and it is less common for your natural nails to be shaped this way! (Unless you have very long and strong natural nails!).

Coffin nails or Ballerina nails

Coffin/ ballerina nails are Kylie Jenner’s signature nail style and by far the most popular shape! They slightly squared but tapered at the ends which elongates your hands and makes them look longer. They also add some extra room for nail art, if that’s your thing!

Almond nails

Almond nails are also quite popular and they resemble what they sound like… almonds! This shape is more rounded compared to the coffin nails (and especially compared to the stiletto nails) but are still tapered at the end unlike “rounded nails” (that’s coming up!).  Almond nails look more natural and don’t require super long nails… you still need some length but you can wear them on your natural nails!

Square nails

 

Square nails look exactly how they sound like… square! They are the same as coffin nails, except they aren’t tapered at the ends.

Round nails

Rounded nails are the most natural nail shape you can get! They work perfectly with either long nails or short nails, on gel extensions or on natural nails.

More Marble Nails! | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Nails

Marble nails is a trend  we’ve noticed taking over Instagram every day! It just looks so classy yet simple. Today we have a variation of marble nail art that we would love to show, as well as the possibilities of art combinations you can do with marble art! Some of the art we have been experimenting involve a mixture of different nail art techniques!

One of the techniques we loved seeing on nails is adding a touch of gold to class it up! Gold flakes are the perfect last touch to add a bit of colour to your manicure. (They’re also super fun to add and watch dissolve onto the nail!). You can see how they look in photos 2 and 5! Another way to add gold or other colours onto your mani is by adding metallic striping tape! We used gold in both of the sets we show this, but marble nails also look amazing with other colour metallic foil striping tape- such as a baby pink or a teal-blue. This technique can be shown in photos 3 and 6.

One of our more popular requests for nail art would be black on white marble. The classic! In some of the photos below, we tried out using different colours and different “backdrop” colours to see how it looks. Photo #4 with white on a lighter pink, and photo #3 and 6 with white on pink- one with more opaque pink, and the other with a softer, more translucent pink.
