N° 01 — Shade Lab

Nail & beauty studio · Old Flower Market

Colour, mixed for your hands.

Every appointment at Bloom starts in the Shade Lab. Pick a pigment, choose a finish, watch it catch the light — then we lay it down, coat by coat, in a quiet studio that never runs late.

02 / The studio

A slower kind of studio

We kept the flower shop’s tiled floor and big windows and built four chairs around them. Nobody is rushed and nothing is reused.

  • Hospital-grade hygiene

    Metal tools go through an autoclave and arrive in a sealed pouch you open yourself.

  • Kind formulas

    Our gels are HEMA-free and 10-free. We will tell you exactly what goes on your nails.

  • Time on your side

    Appointments are booked with a ten-minute buffer, so we start when we say we will.

Good to know

How long does gel last?

Two to three weeks for most people. We remove it gently, without drilling the natural nail.

Can I bring my own design?

Yes. Send a picture with your booking and we'll plan the time it needs.

What if I'm running late?

Message us. Up to fifteen minutes we can usually keep the full service.

Is the aurora finish safe?

It's a cosmetic top coat with a fine shimmer pigment, cured like any gel.
