Did you know that the removal of semi-permanent polish by a professional can reduce the risk of weakening the natural nail by 80%? Yet many women in Nantes avoid this technique for fear of damaging their nails. At M&A Nail Design, we have made nail health our top priority. Our application and removal protocol preserves keratin while offering incomparable shine for weeks.
Our nail prosthetics salon located in Rezé, just steps from Nantes, offers a semi-permanent application that combines exceptional wear and respect for the natural nail. Whether you are looking for long-lasting nail polish in Nantes or semi-permanent manicure in Rezé, discover why our approach makes the difference.
Long-lasting wear without compromising health
Semi-permanent polish is much more than a simple polish: it is a photopolymerizable resin that hardens under a UV/LED lamp. It offers a wear of 3 to 4 weeks without chipping. At M&A Nail Design, we use professional products selected for their glossy finish and flexibility. This prevents premature cracks.
Concretely, here is what you gain:
The rubber base: the secret to strengthened nails
For fragile or striated natural nails, we offer an additional option: the rubber base. This flexible base, applied before the semi-permanent polish, acts as an invisible reinforcement. It smooths the surface and prevents breakage. According to our salon experience, 9 out of 10 clients notice a visible improvement in the condition of their nails after two applications with rubber base.
"The rubber base is especially recommended for people with soft nails or who bite their nails. It allows you to regain a healthy surface while benefiting from color." —M&A Nail Design, our team
Semi-permanent hands: a complete treatment in 60 minutes
Our semi-permanent hands service lasts 60 minutes and includes:
Price: €30 — an investment for shiny nails in Nantes that last for weeks without losing their luster.
Semi-permanent feet: elegance down to your toes
Summer approaching? Our semi-permanent feet (45 minutes, €30) are perfect for long-lasting wear that resists sand, seawater, and sandals. We apply the same rigorous protocol as for hands. Special attention is given to plate dehydration for optimal adhesion.
Professional removal: €5 to preserve your nails
Contrary to what you see on social media, peeling off your semi-permanent is the worst thing to do. Our professional removal (20 minutes, €5) uses gentle solvents and controlled filing technique. It removes the resin without damaging the natural nail. This service is systematically included in our application packages.
Impeccable hygiene protocol
At M&A Nail Design, hygiene is not an option: it is a strict protocol applied at every appointment. Our tools are sterilized after each client. Surfaces are disinfected between each service. We use single-use products for files and blocks.
"We select professional quality products and apply an impeccable hygiene protocol at every appointment." —Our story, M&A Nail Design
Nail health above all
Our philosophy is simple: a healthy nail is a nail that can be enhanced sustainably. That is why we refuse too frequent applications (every 2 weeks) that weaken the plate. We recommend maintenance every 3 to 4 weeks to let the nail breathe between applications.
Signs that indicate it is time to redo your semi-permanent:
An experienced team at your service
Ana-Maria and Madalina, founders of the salon, each have 8 years of experience in nail prosthetics. Their expertise allows them to adapt to all types of nails: thin, curved, spatula-shaped, or weakened by previous applications. To learn more about their background, see our dedicated page.
Nail art on your semi-permanent: yes, it's possible!
One of the great advantages of semi-permanent at M&A Nail Design is the possibility of adding nail art directly onto the fresh resin. Unlike classic polish that does not support complex overlays, semi-permanent offers a stable and adhesive base for all decorations.
Our style gallery (see inspirations) offers hundreds of models, all achievable on semi-permanent:

How long does semi-permanent polish last at M&A Nail Design?
Our semi-permanent polish lasts 3 to 4 weeks without chipping or loss of shine. The exact duration depends on your nail type, daily activity, and maintenance (avoid scratching, wear gloves for household chores). We recommend maintenance every 3 to 4 weeks for discreet regrowth and optimal nail health.
Does semi-permanent damage natural nails?
No, if application and removal are done by a professional. At M&A Nail Design, our professional removal (20 minutes, €5) uses gentle solvents and controlled filing to preserve keratin. The risk of weakening only occurs when you scrape or peel off the polish yourself. We also offer the rubber base to strengthen fragile natural nails.
Can I add nail art to my semi-permanent application?
Absolutely! Our nail art package (€10 for 10 nails) allows you to add designs to your semi-permanent. You can also opt for a French manicure (€5) or a baby boomer model (€5). Check out our style gallery for inspiration.

What is the difference between semi-permanent and gel?
Semi-permanent is a resin polish applied to the natural nail to color and protect it, without extension. It lasts 3 to 4 weeks. Gel (full gel/stencil application) allows lengthening the nail by adding a resin extension, ideal for short or brittle nails. At M&A Nail Design, semi-permanent costs €30 (hands, 60 min) while full gel application starts at €45 (90 min). For more details, see our comparison guide.
