Change colour whenever you like
Dark red this week, nude next week, coral the week after. With regular polish, you're not locked in. Take it off at home tonight, put something new on tomorrow morning – your call.
Colour without long-term commitment
Polish CompleteManicure and pedicure with nail polish
You want colour, but you don't want to be stuck with it for weeks. Red today, maybe something else next week. Regular nail polish makes that possible. Full care for hands and feet – trimming, shaping, cuticles, calluses – and colour on all twenty nails at the end. No UV light, no gel, no complicated removal process. When the polish chips or you've had enough, you grab some remover and a cotton pad and that's it. Polish Complete is for anyone who wants groomed hands and feet with colour, but wants to stay flexible.

Why regular polish?
What Polish Complete OffersColour with freedom
Gel polish lasts for weeks – but that's exactly what some people don't want. Regular nail polish has its own advantages that often get overlooked.
No removal appointment needed
Gel polish has to come off professionally. Regular polish? Cotton wool and remover, done. No booking, no travel, no waiting. Maximum independence.
Gentler on nails
No UV lamp, no thick coating, no filing during removal. Regular polish is the gentlest colour option. Ideal between gel polish phases or for sensitive nails.
Cheaper than gel polish
Eighty euros instead of ninety-five. The saving is real. If you're planning to change colours frequently anyway, expensive gel polish doesn't make much sense.
Stay flexible
Classic Colour, Modern ComfortThe experimenter's choice
I'm Nataliia. Polish Complete is my package for clients who want to experiment. New colour they've never tried? Try it with regular polish – if you don't like it, it's gone by tomorrow. Some book Polish Complete before special occasions where a specific colour needs to match an outfit. After the wedding or event, it gets removed – no drama, no appointment needed. Others simply like the freedom. Gel polish feels like commitment to them. They don't want to walk around with the same colour for three weeks. Polish Complete gives them exactly that: full care, beautiful colour, zero obligation.
— NataliiaHuge colour selection
My polish collection is extensive. From classic to daring, from subtle to bold. We'll find the right colour – or bring your own.
Careful application
Regular polish is less forgiving than gel. Every unevenness shows. That's why I apply with extra care – even, clean, right to the edge.
Quick-drying formulas
I use high-quality polishes with fast drying times. Still: be careful for the first thirty minutes after the appointment. No rummaging in handbags.
The Process Care plus colour
The flow is like Classic Complete – except colour gets added at the end. This extends the appointment by about fifteen to twenty minutes.
- 1
Foot soak
Warm water with nourishing solution. Skin and nails soften, you settle in. I usually start with feet.
8 minutes
- 2
Toenail trimming and shaping
Nails trimmed and shaped. With regular polish, a smooth surface is especially important – ridges show through.
8 minutes
- 3
Foot cuticles
Cuticles pushed back, excess skin removed. A clean cuticle line makes the polish look better later.
8 minutes
- 4
Calluses and heels
Hardened skin professionally removed. Soft feet – the polish is just the cherry on top.
10 minutes
- 5
Transition to hands
Short break. Feet are prepped but not polished yet – that comes at the end, when everything else is done.
3 minutes
- 6
Hand soak
Hands soaked in warm water. Shorter than the foot soak but equally important for cuticle work.
5 minutes
- 7
Fingernail trimming and shaping
Choose shape, even out all ten nails. Regular polish emphasises the shape – it should be perfect.
8 minutes
- 8
Hand cuticles
Detailed work on each cuticle. Hands are more visible, every detail matters here.
10 minutes
- 9
Colour selection
Now for the colourful part. Which colour for hands, which for feet? Same or different? We decide together.
5 minutes
- 10
Polishing
Base coat, two layers of colour, top coat. Each layer dries briefly. Even, clean, glossy.
15 minutes
- 11
Drying and wrap-up
Drying time under fan or with spray. Final check. You leave with fresh, colourful nails – but careful for the next half hour.

Before Your Appointment For better results
A few things can make the appointment more pleasant and the results better.
Remove old polish beforehand
If you have remnants of old polish – best to remove it at home first. Saves time during the appointment and I start on a clean slate.
Think about colour
What colour do you want? Does your outfit inspire you? If you're unsure, no problem – we'll figure it out together. But thinking ahead doesn't hurt.
Bring open shoes
After polishing, toenails need some air. Flip-flops or sandals are ideal. Closed shoes can damage fresh polish.
Allow time afterwards
Polish needs time to fully harden. For the first thirty minutes after the appointment, you shouldn't touch anything that presses or rubs.
Afterwards
After Your AppointmentMaking the colour last longer
Regular polish doesn't last as long as gel – but with the right tricks, it lasts much longer than expected.
1
First hoursCareful when touching things
- Polish can feel dry quickly but is still soft inside. Take it easy for the first two to three hours. No carrying heavy bags, no soaking in water.
2
DailyRefresh the top coat
- A layer of top coat every two to three days adds new shine and extends wear. Takes five minutes, makes a big difference.
3
AvoidLong water exposure
- Dishwater, long baths – polish softens and chips faster. Gloves when washing up help enormously.
4
When neededRemove it yourself
- When polish starts chipping or you want something new – nail polish remover (preferably acetone-free) and cotton pads. Everything's clean in ten minutes.
Polish Combo FAQs
ClassicWith Patience
Flip-flops, drying time, and flexibility.
Yes – absolutely please. Fresh polish on toes and closed shoes do not get along. Flip-flops or Birkenstocks are ideal, even in winter at least for the short way.
I handle that smoothly: We sort out payment, putting on jacket, and everything organizational beforehand. Polishing comes last – then you just need to walk out carefully.
After about 20 minutes, the polish is surface dry. It's usually only really 'bump-proof' after 1–2 hours. For the way home: better stay calm, no sudden moves with keys, bag, or zipper.
Because you are maximally flexible. You can remove and change the color at home anytime – perfect if you like frequent color changes or want to switch spontaneously.
It works – but it is impractical. Open shoes in the cold and then walking carefully: That is not exactly cozy. In winter, Gel Polish is usually the significantly more relaxed option.
Yes, gladly. If you have a favorite color, I'll use that. I just check briefly if the polish still spreads well and hasn't become too thick.
Normally not, because I always work with base coat – on hands and feet. This protects the natural nail even with dark colors.
Can happen. Tell me immediately as long as you are still there – then I can often fix small smudges directly. At home it is usually more difficult because the polish has already set.

Polish CompleteMatching color, one session
Warum Base und Top den Unterschied machen
Nur Farbe auftragen hält selten lange. Das System zählt:
- Base Coat: Schützt vor Verfärbungen (gerade bei Rot wichtig) und gleicht kleine Rillen aus.
- Top Coat: Versiegelt, bringt Glanz und schützt vor Kratzern.
Die einfache Formel: Base + 2× Farbe + Top – so hält der Look deutlich besser.
Why base and top coat matter
Can't you just apply color? Technically yes, but the result will be poor.
Base coat functions: Smooths the nail surface, improves polish adhesion, prevents dark pigments from staining the nail, protects the nail from chemicals.
Top coat functions: Provides shine (or matte finish), protects color from external factors, prevents scratching, delays chipping, speeds up drying (quick-dry top coats).
Base + 2 color coats + top coat = professional result. Just color = amateur result.
Polish chemistry, simply
What's in the bottle?
Film formers: Nitrocellulose creates a hard, shiny layer on the nail. This is what makes polish harden as it dries.
Resins: Make the nitrocellulose stick to the nail. Where durability comes from.
Plasticizers: Make the layer flexible. Without them, polish would crack.
Solvents: Ethyl acetate, butyl acetate – keep the polish liquid. Evaporate during drying (that's the smell).
Pigments: The color source. Some mineral, some synthetic.
Modern '3-free', '5-free', '10-free' polishes remove certain chemicals considered harmful. The professional brands I use are always in this category.
Hands and feet matched
The beauty of Polish Complete: Same color, same quality, same day. Hands and feet coordinated.
This matching matters especially for: Summer events with open shoes. Beach days. Weddings, engagements. Moments when everything shows.
With two separate appointments, catching this match is hard. Different days can mean different color batches. At Polish Complete, from the same bottle, in the same session – guaranteed match.
Men and nail polish
Yes, it happens. Not every man wants colored nails, but some do.
Subtle options: Clear top coat for light shine. Matte polish in skin tone. Very dark 'almost black' brown.
Less subtle options: Some men wear black, navy, even colors. Fashion statement, self-expression, or just because they like it.
At Polish Complete, any color is possible – for everyone.
Do polished nails stay healthy?
With proper use, polish doesn't harm the nail. Improper use does.
Bad habits: Picking, peeling polish off (damages the surface), skipping base coat (staining), months of uninterrupted polish (nails need breaks), using low-quality polish.
Healthy habits: Proper application (base + color + top), gentle removal with acetone, colorless periods in between (even just a few days), nail care (cuticle oil), quality products.
For nail health, regular polish is definitely gentler than gel. But 'natural' it's not – still a chemical product. Balanced use is key.
A brief history of nail polish
Nail polish is surprisingly ancient. In ancient China (around 3000 BC), nobility colored their nails – with a mixture of beeswax, egg whites, gelatin, and flower pigments. Color indicated social status: gold and silver shades were reserved for the imperial family.
Modern nail polish emerged in the 1920s from car paint technology. Revlon founded the first real polish brand in 1932. Since then, formulas have evolved – faster drying, longer lasting, shinier.
Gel polish exploded in the 2010s, people said 'regular polish is dead'. But it didn't die. Still a billion-dollar market. Because polish can do what gel can't.
Polish vs gel: honest comparison
Let's name the differences clearly:
Durability: Gel polish 3–4 weeks, regular polish 5–14 days (shorter on hands, longer on feet). Gel wins here, clearly.
Removal: Regular polish comes off at home with cotton and acetone in 5 minutes. Gel needs professional removal – acetone wraps, filing, time.
Nail health: Gel sits on the nail three weeks, surface gets filed during removal. Regular gel wearers can develop thinner nails. Regular polish is much gentler – easy on, easy off.
Cost: Gel is more expensive. With frequent changes, the difference adds up.
Drying: Gel cures instantly under UV/LED lamp. Regular polish needs time – the first hours are critical. Polish's main disadvantage.
Flexibility: Regular polish can be changed anytime. Gel stays three weeks.
Das kleine Ritual
Klassischer Lack hat etwas Ruhiges: Fläschchen auf, Pinselstrich, kurz warten. Das fühlt sich fast wie ein Mini-Ritual an.
Und weil es nicht „für Wochen“ ist, traut man sich oft mehr. Ein kräftiges Grün? Warum nicht – wenn’s dir doch nicht gefällt, ist es morgen wieder weg.
The sensory pleasure of polish
There's something in regular polish that gel doesn't have:
Ritual: Opening the bottle, familiar smell, careful brush strokes, watching it dry. Tactile, real, connecting.
Impermanence: Knowing it won't last forever makes it less precious, more experimental. You can play because the stakes are low.
Accessibility: No special equipment needed. Polish bottle, cotton, acetone – that's it. Democratically simple.
Nostalgia: For many, polish carries memories – mom getting ready, teenage sleepovers, first experiments with self-expression. Gel doesn't have that history yet.
Sometimes the 'less advanced' option is the more human one.
How Polish Complete goes
Polish Complete takes about 90 minutes:
Feet first (50 minutes): Foot soak, nail and callus care, polish application. Feet with toe separators left to dry.
Hands after (40 minutes): While foot polish dries, I move to hands. Nail care, polish application.
Why feet first? Polish on thicker toenails takes longer to dry. While hands are being done, feet are drying – time used efficiently.
Color choice: Same color or different? Your call. But if you want 'coordinated', I recommend the same shade or tones from the same family.
One session, done
Two separate appointments: Polish Manicure + Polish Pedicure = two different days, two round trips, two 'prep times'.
Polish Complete: Come once, leave once. Total time shorter, total cost lower.
And practical advantage: You only go through drying once. With two separate appointments, two 'be careful' periods. Here, handled in one go.
Who regular polish makes sense for
Regular polish is the right choice in these situations:
Nails need a break: Months of gel, nails are worn out. A few months of regular polish lets them recover.
Color adventurers: Different color every week. With regular polish, try it – don't like it, remove it.
One-time events: Wedding this Saturday. Need to look great just for that evening. Paying for gel makes no sense.
Budget-conscious: Regular polish is more affordable – especially with frequent visits.
Sensitive nail structure: Some nails can't handle gel – it lifts, breaks. Regular polish is more forgiving.
