Choose the service around the length you want. An overlay covers your natural nail length; a full set adds length. Gel polish describes the colour finish, so asking for “gel nails” alone leaves the appointment unclear. At BellaPharma, soft gel overlays start from AED 149, acrylic overlays from AED 199, and acrylic or hard gel full sets from AED 249. Prices exclude 5% VAT.

| Service | Length Goal | Classic | Gelish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soft Gel Overlay | Keep your natural length | AED 149 | AED 179 |
| Acrylic Overlay | Keep your natural length | AED 199 | AED 249 |
| Acrylic Full Set | Add length | AED 249 | AED 299 |
| Hard Gel Full Set | Add length | AED 249 | AED 299 |
Classic and Gelish are finish options on the menu. An overlay and an extension remain different appointments, even when the finished colour looks similar.
Start With Your Natural Nails
Tell the technician whether you want to retain your current length or add length, how you use your hands, and the shape you prefer. Show an inspiration photo and explain the details you like: length, shape, finish or design. The technician assesses your nails before agreeing the service.
A method’s name does not establish which option suits you. The result also depends on the agreed length, shape, product and preparation. Avoid booking a full set solely because the reference photo has gel polish.
Refills, Removal And Extras
BellaPharma’s service information suggests refills every two to three weeks. Confirm the return plan for your own set when booking. The menu lists refill overlay/acrylic at AED 149 for Classic or AED 199 for Gelish, and extension removal at AED 99. All exclude VAT.
- Nail art: AED 10 per finger.
- Rubber base application: AED 35.
- Chrome or French/ombre tips: AED 35 on the menu.
- Repairs: Classic AED 19 or Gelish AED 29.
Ask whether existing-product removal, repairs, design and your selected finish are included in the quote. If you are changing the product or returning after a longer gap, ask whether the appointment is a refill, removal or new set.
Common Questions
Is Gelish The Same As A Gel Extension?
No. Gelish refers to the colour finish. An extension service adds length; an overlay covers your existing length. Specify both the service and finish when booking.
Do I Need Extensions If My Nails Are Already Long?
You might prefer an overlay on your existing length. Share a current photo and your target shape so the technician assesses the options before you book.
What If A Nail Lifts Or Breaks?
Contact the salon for an assessment and confirm whether you need a repair or a different appointment. Avoid pulling or peeling off the product. Removal should follow the product system used.
Is Nail Art Included In A Full Set?
Do not assume so. Nail art is separately priced at AED 10 per finger. Send your design reference and ask for the complete quote including VAT.
