Unlike regular nail polish - which can chip after two to three days, gel nails are borderline indestructible and last up to three or four weeks without chipping (#miracle)! Gel Nails are also used to extend the length of the fingernail.

We only use gels from American or European brands, which guarantees quality so that you - the customer - can be sure that our products fully comply with the strict Western regulations.
Our nail salon has a wide range of colours available, both in terms of gels and gel polishes or anti-allergic gels. We also alternate our colours throughout the year and by season.
We use the same price for any standard finish, both for gels and gel polishes with no additional charge for color or French. This way you can always switch to a different colour, or change to a French manicure or a natural finish.
Well cared for hands and nails are one of the first things people notice. Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with strong nails. To help you strengthen your nails, stop nail biting or just to have beautiful nails, Beautiful Nails by Linde can apply gel on your own nails or on artificial nails (gel nails), on your fingers as well as on your toe nails.
Gels come in a variety of colours and finishes (including French Manicure, Natural and colour gels) and offer flexibility and firmness, making regular nail polish unnecessary and little daily care for your nails is needed.
Gel nails are ideal for nail biting and beautiful bridal nails look great on your wedding photos and/or movies.
Our nail studio in the centre of Leuven offers a full range of nail and hand care services. We keep a close eye on the industry trends and regularly introduce new services to ensure that you receive the maximum benefit from your visits.

Nail salon Beautiful Nails by Linde has been an established value for nail care in downtown Leuven since 2004.
Our nail salon is located in the Louis Melsensstraat in Leuven between the Bondgenotenlaan and the Diestsestraat with many car parks nearby.
We have a wide range of colours - both gels and gel polishes - which are regularly updated to match our range to the current season.
Gel nails (or 'Gel Manicure') are nails which have been strengthened and/or lengthened by means of a gel system. The gels are applied in several layers to your natural nails by means of a brush. The gel layers are then hardened under a professional UV lamp. Your own nails can be reinforced with a layer of gel or your nails can be lengthened with a tip.
Gel polish is also sometimes called 'semi-permanent nail polish' because it is applied to the natural nail in the form of a nail polish and is then hardened with a professional UV lamp. It is therefore a hybrid form between regular nail polish and a gel manicure. Just as with gel nails, several layers are applied to make them extra firm. The main brands are CND Shellac and Gelish.
At least 3 weeks of beautifully polished nails that provide reinforcement to your natural nails with a natural look and feel: pliable and flexible.
Nail extensions are applied by means of tips ('set gel nails') for nail biters or clients with short nails who just prefer longer nails.
When your natural nails are chipped off, we will apply extensions ('tips') to your nails. These small plastic 'tips' are placed on your natural nails, of course without damaging them.
We decide on the desired shape and length (too long is not practical as a nail biter since you are not used to working with longer nails) and the plastic tips are then filed in this length and shape.
First a base layer (base coat) is applied, then a double colour layer (color coat) and then a top layer (top coat) that protects the whole. The gel of the different layers is hardened under a UV/LED lamp.

Professional approach in a friendly, relaxed environment. Linde puts you in an instant good mood and understands her profession and her clients like no other. Her advice is always spot on.
Always top service. Very detailed explanations and always very friendly. It is clear they know what they are doing. Definitely the place to be for your nails.
As a nail biter, my nails were abysmal and I didn't dare to enter a salon. Nevertheless, I took a chance at Linde's, and walked out with a really good feeling.
