DAILY MAIL - Femail Section - 5 of the Best Manicures Benefits: Chip-proof nail colour for up to three weeks.
Verdict: Nothing could chip or break my nails after this manicure. Applied in gel form, you effectively have fake nails painted on top of your own - but they looked completely natural. The gel dries under UV light, which means it's hard as nails before you can even leave the salon. The odd crack began to show after ten days, and you need a special solution to dissolve the gel. If you want long-lasting nails, this is for you. 9/10
DAILY MAIL - Femail Section - 5 of the Best Pedicures
Why: No chipping for seven weeks.
Verdict: Amazing! Feet are cleansed, cuticles shaped and the Executive Base, a simple nail protector, is painted on. The Bio Sculpture Gel is painted across the nail. It is set under a UV lamp for two minutes, then gently buffed. This permanent pedicure is quick and the colour does not chip or flake. 10/10

Perfect 10: nailed
Regular manicures chip within days. One answer would be acrylics, but do you really want to spend the time and money, and risk the relative damage to your nails?
Me neither. I needed an alternative-and found one. A Bio Sculpture Manicure stays perfect for about two weeks but is applied like any regular manicure with no glues or drills going anywhere near you. The secret is that instead of regular varnish, non-acrylic soluble gels are used - and they dry in seconds to leave hard but flexible protective layers.
My nails were painted with a base coat, then buffed slightly for grip. Two layers of Bio Sculpture Gel followed - I opted for clear gel and white tips, but there's a vast choice of colours you can choose from if you prefer - and my rather brilliant Jiheyon finished off with a top coat for extra gloss.
The genius of the gel is that it only comes off with a special solvent, so you can paint any varnish over it and wipe it off without affecting your Bio Sculpture manicure underneath. Also, because it dries instantly, its the one manicure (or pedicure) after which you truly can be out the door straight away, unlike 'express manicures' where the half-dry polish comes off the minute you reach for your purse or step into your shoes.
The manicure grows out from the root, but after about two weeks you can fill this in with take-home products or have infills done at the salon, giving you another two or three weeks. Lengthening nails is possible too, with your technician building a gel sculpture using thin layers of gel. Fabulous.
HARPER & QUEEN - Newby Hands views on Bio Sculpture Gel
Nails naturally yellow and ridge with time. For shiny, fuss-free, perfect nails (on fingers and toes), try a Bio-Sculpture Nail Gel treatment, from £35 a session (ring 0845 331 2347 for details of your nearest salon). The gel, which is painted over the nail (think thick varnish), comes in a choice of either clear (which has a white-gel tip for a great French Manicure) or coloured. Once set, the gel lasts and lasts, although re-growth will need to be filled in every two weeks or so. But the real bonus is that the gelled nails look immaculate and totally natural, without any worry of chips or breakages - plus, your nails remain healthy underneath. Personally, I'm addicted to it.

Biosculpture Gel
I’ve had the Biosculpture gel nails for a month now and I’ve never been happier with my hands! I am hopeless with nail polish because I constantly use my hands and am quite clumsy – normal nail polish chips in a couple of hours for me, but this gel manicure looks exactly like it did when the girls put it on, over a week ago! It looks just like normal polish but stronger – I think of it as a semi-permanent polish, rather than a fake nail. It’s sooo pretty and so low maintenance. I LOVE it and it’s great value – I’ll never look back.
Also – if you get tired of your colour you can put nail polish over the top – then take it off with a special nail polish remover and your gel nails will be fine. It’s a lot healthier than acrylic, and it doesn’t look as thick, but it’s flexible as well. When you soak it off your nails are long, strong and healthy. Biosculpture gel is available in over 100 beautiful fashion colours, Clear and French Manicure the perfect solution for beautiful nails
