Your natural toenails, with lightweight protection
Lamination pedicure covers the natural toenail with a thin, transparent layer. It smooths the appearance of the nail plate and protects its surface as it grows, keeping the finish light, comfortable, and natural.
This service is designed for natural toenails. It creates a weightless seal without adding bulk, making it especially comfortable in sneakers and closed shoes.
Expected wear is up to four weeks. How long the coating lasts depends on the condition of your toenails and your footwear habits.
Step by Step
The treatment begins with dry SMART toenail preparation, followed by careful application of the protective layer.
Swipe to explore the five steps
- Step 01 / 05
Toenail preparation
Your technician begins with detailed toenail and cuticle care using waterless SMART pedicure techniques for precise preparation around the nail zone.
- Step 02 / 05
Degreasing the nail
Once the nail shaping and cuticle care are complete, a degreasing solution removes natural oils and moisture that could interfere with adhesion.
- Step 03 / 05
Applying the bonding layer
A dedicated bonding product prepares the toenail surface and helps the protective coating adhere evenly to the natural nail plate.
- Step 04 / 05
A thin protective coating
The protective material is applied in an ultra-thin layer and cured in a lamp. It creates a transparent coating that gives the toenails a clean, natural gloss.
- Step 05 / 05
Final shaping and finishing
To finish, the technician refines the nail edge and applies nourishing oil to keep the surrounding skin soft and hydrated.
How it differs from gel polish
An almost weightless layer
The coating is exceptionally thin, adding zero bulk in closed shoes or sneakers.
Clear gloss, without color
There is no color selection. Lamination leaves a transparent, glossy finish that highlights your natural toenails. For a colored finish, explore our SMART Pedicure.
Gentle on natural toenails
Lamination pedicure is ideal for clients who prefer clean, bare-looking toes with a neat gloss rather than heavy gel overlays.
Removal with a dedicated remover
A special remover is brushed onto the coating like nail polish. Once the material has softened, your technician gently lifts it away with a pusher, taking care to protect the natural toenail surface.
This thin coating does not require aggressive filing or e-file removal of the product from the nail plate.
