The Gloss Atelier
Where nails become art.
A private nail studio in Albertville, Johannesburg. Rubber base, extensions and hand-painted design — catering for your nail needs.
The atelier
An atelier is a workshop — a room where things are still made by hand.
That is the whole idea behind this studio. Not a production line, not a fifteen-minute turnaround. Every set of hands is curated with precision and perfection, according to your style.
The foundation matters just as much as the picture on top. Nails are prepped properly, structure is built where your nail needs it, and the shape is filed to suit your hands.

What is made here
The list, and what it costs.
Rubber base sets, sculpting and pedicures. If what you want is not on the list, send a photo and she will tell you what it costs.
Selected work
Recent sets from the studio.
Every photo on this site is her own work on a real client — no stock images, no borrowed inspiration pictures.
The house palette
Quiet colours, so the work does the talking.
The studio's own palette is deliberately soft and earthy. On the nail, anything goes — neon, cobalt, emerald, blood red. Ask for it.
Appointments
Book a chair in the atelier.
Tell her what you have in mind — length, shape, colour, or just a picture you liked. She will come back with what is possible and what it costs.
