Nail Care Questions
Q: How long does a manicure last?
Regular polish: 5–7 days. Gel/shellac: 2–3 weeks. The tip area chips first — applying a fresh topcoat every 2–3 days extends regular polish significantly. Wearing gloves for dishes and cleaning is the single most effective way to extend any manicure.
Q: Is gel/shellac bad for nails?
The product itself is not damaging. The damage comes from incorrect removal — peeling or picking gel takes the nail plate surface with it. Always have gel removed with foil wrap and acetone, never peeled. With proper removal, gel nails are compatible with nail health.
Q: How often should I get a pedicure?
Every 4–6 weeks for nail maintenance and callus management. In summer with increased foot exposure: every 3–4 weeks. Callus removal at home is less effective than professional tools — regular professional pedicures prevent the thick calluses that cause heel fissures and cracking.
Q: What is included in the paraffin treatment?
Warm therapeutic paraffin wax is applied to hands or feet over a moisturising base. The wax is sealed with gloves or booties for 10–15 minutes, then peeled off. The result is significantly softer skin — recommended for dry hands, cracked heels, and clients with arthritis who benefit from the joint-warming effect.

Nail Health Between Salon Visits — Expert Tips
Daily cuticle oil application keeps the nail bed hydrated and prevents splitting. Wear rubber gloves during dish-washing to prevent prolonged water exposure — the leading cause of nail softening and peeling. Avoid using fingernails as tools. For thin, peeling nails, a keratin treatment or glass nail file seals the nail edge rather than roughing it, improving strength within 4–6 weeks. Shivani at Angelite Esthetics East York assesses your nail health at every professional visit and adjusts care accordingly.

Shellac Manicure in East York — Getting the Most from Gel Polish
A shellac gel manicure should last 2–3 weeks chip-free. Clients who report chipping at 5–7 days are usually experiencing one of three preventable issues:
- Surface prep failure: Any oil, lotion, or moisture on the nail plate at application time prevents the gel from bonding. We always perform a dehydrating prep step before gel application. At home, avoid using hand lotion the same day as your appointment.
- Edge application: Gel applied only to the flat nail plate (and not “capping” the free edge — the tip of the nail) will lift from the tip within 4–5 days. Proper capping — a thin line of gel applied to the nail tip edge — is what makes gel last past week 1.
- Incorrect removal: If you have had shellac applied elsewhere that lifts prematurely, prior removal may have involved peeling or picking, which removes the top nail plate layer. Thinned nails don’t hold gel as well. Professional acetone wraps rather than peeling is critical.
At Angelite Esthetics, all three steps are handled correctly. Shellac mani available — mention when booking. Classic mani from $35 | 📍 2217 Danforth Avenue, East York | 📞 (416) 691-9111

Professional Facials at Angelite — East York’s Skin Experts
Every facial at Angelite Esthetics begins with a thorough skin analysis — assessing current skin type (which fluctuates with hormones, season, and lifestyle), identifying primary concerns, and reviewing any recent treatments or products that could affect how your skin responds to treatment. This analysis takes 5–7 minutes and is never skipped in favour of getting straight to the treatment. Understanding your skin’s current state produces dramatically better outcomes than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our facial menu includes options targeted to the most common East York client concerns: dull skin (HydraFacial with brightening boosters), active acne (salicylic acid-forward deep cleanse with extraction), aging and loss of elasticity (anti-aging protocol with peptide masking and massage), and hyperpigmentation (vitamin C brightening with mild chemical exfoliation). Book a free phone consultation if you’re unsure which facial suits your current skin condition.

Shellac Manicure East York Toronto — Professional Gel Nails at Angelite
Shellac vs Gel — What’s the Actual Difference?
Shellac is a branded gel polish system by CND (Creative Nail Design), marketed as a “hybrid” between regular nail polish and traditional gel. It’s cured under UV/LED light like gel, lasts 14-21 days like gel, and requires acetone removal like gel — for all practical purposes, Shellac is a gel manicure product. The distinction between “shellac” and “gel” matters primarily to the product brand rather than the client experience: what matters is the quality of the gel formula, the curing lamp, and the application technique.
Gel/Shellac Nail Care Considerations
Professional guidance on gel nail health: rotating between gel and regular polish allows the nail plate to recover between gel applications (acetone and UV curing are mildly dehydrating). Clients who get gel manicures every 2-3 weeks continuously sometimes notice nail plate thinning or brittleness after several months — a “gel holiday” of 1-2 months with regular polish (or no polish) and cuticle oil application daily allows the nail plate to fully recover. At Angelite, we discuss gel vs. regular rotation with regular gel clients and recommend the best schedule for long-term nail health.
