Gel polish in Izmir — called kalıcı oje in Turkish and often “shellac” in English — is cured colour on your natural nails with no added length. Fleura Nails is a mobile service, not a walk-in salon: we bring everything to you. All we need is a table-height surface, two chairs and a power socket nearby.
What Is Included
Nail Preparation
Shaping, cuticle work and surface prep — the part that decides how long the colour actually lasts.
Colour of Your Choice
From quiet nudes to strong shades. Send an outfit or reference photo and we bring suitable tones.
Finish Options
Glossy or matte, plain, french, ombre or cat-eye. Nail art can be added on top.
Gel Polish or Gel Extensions?
Choose gel polish if your nails are already the length you like and you simply want colour that survives two to three weeks. Choose gel extensions if you want added length or a defined shape. If your nails are short because they keep breaking, a gel strengthening layer under the colour is often the most sensible route.
Making It Last
- Gloves for cleaning products and washing up.
- Cuticle oil daily — the single most effective habit.
- Avoid using your nails as tools to open or scrape things.
- Rebook around the 2–3 week mark instead of letting it lift.
At Your Home, Hotel or Airbnb
We bring the lamp, sterile tools and full colour selection to you. You provide a table-height surface, two chairs and a power socket nearby. Metal tools are sterilised in an autoclave after every client, files and buffers are single-use, and the work area we set up is disinfected before each appointment. This is particularly practical if you are visiting Izmir and would rather not look for a salon, or if you have a small child at home.
We cover Izmir, including Karşıyaka, Bornova, Alsancak, Balçova, Narlıdere, Buca and Çiğli. Travel is included in the listed price for central districts; for Çeşme, Alaçatı and Urla a travel supplement may apply and we confirm it before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does gel polish last?
Typically 2–3 weeks of glossy colour. Wearing gloves for housework and using cuticle oil daily noticeably extends that. Growth at the base is the usual reason to rebook rather than chipping.
Is a manicure included in the price?
Yes — manicure and gel polish are priced as one package starting from 1,150 ₺, so the basic manicure is included. See the full price list.
Is gel polish the same as shellac?
In everyday use, yes. Shellac is a brand name that became a generic word for gel polish. Both mean cured colour on the natural nail with no added length.
How is gel polish removed?
It is softened and gently removed so the natural nail is not filed down. Never scrape or peel it off yourself — that is what causes thinning. Removal of a set applied elsewhere is priced separately.
Can I have gel polish on my toes too?
Yes. Pedicure with gel polish starts from 1,250 ₺. Booking hands and feet in the same appointment saves a second visit; we allow for the extra time when scheduling.
