French nails · Auckland CBD
French nails, crisp and clean.
A classic white tip, a barely-there micro-French or a soft pink-to-white ombre, on your natural nails or on extensions — at Joie Nails & Beauty on Scene Lane, Auckland CBD.
Choose your French
- Classic French — a natural pink base with a white tip.
- Micro-French — a very fine line at the tip, for a quieter look.
- Coloured French — the same shape with a coloured tip.
- Ombre (baby boomer) — a soft pink-to-white gradient with no hard line.
- French with chrome — a pearl or mirror finish over your French or ombre.
Which base should I book?
- Gel / Shellac manicure ($55) — French on your natural nails, glossy for 2–3 weeks.
- Builder Gel (BIAB) (from $70) — a flexible, structured overlay that strengthens natural nails.
- Gel X extensions (from $80) — soft gel tips for added length and a new shape.
- SNS pink & white ($80 on natural nails, $95 with tips) — the French look in dipping powder.
When you book on Fresha, choose your base service and add French, ombre or chrome to it.
