Nails that are better
for your skin too

Hema-free isn't just a product choice — it's a commitment to your long-term wellbeing. Once a HEMA sensitisation develops, gel nails may no longer be possible. Sugaplum removes that risk from the start, so you can enjoy beautiful nails for years to come.

Common Questions

Sugaplum Brisbane — frequently asked

Why choose hema-free gel nails?

HEMA is an ingredient in most standard gel nail products that can cause irreversible sensitisation — meaning if you develop an allergy, you may never be able to use gel products again. Hema-free formulas eliminate this risk entirely. For anyone who plans to enjoy gel nails long-term, hema-free is simply the smarter choice.

What is BIAB and is it better than acrylic?

BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) is a flexible, hard gel overlay that adds strength and structure to natural nails. Unlike acrylics, it is gentler on the nail plate, removes more cleanly, and does not require the same level of filing. For clients wanting protection and length without the damage associated with acrylics, BIAB is an excellent alternative.

How long do Sugaplum nail services last?

Gel polish typically lasts 2–3 weeks. BIAB and gel extensions generally last 3–4 weeks before a fill or removal is needed. Longevity varies depending on your nail growth rate, lifestyle, and how you use your hands. Tahnee will advise on aftercare to maximise your results.
