Manicure
Ketyswit Beauty’s manicure room is on the second floor of T1 Mall at Peterburi tee 2 — at the centre of Lasnamäe, two-tram-stops from Linnahall and walking distance from Ülemiste. Three certified specialists have been serving clients here since 2017, which is why many regulars have been coming in every two or three weeks for the past five to seven years. We use Kodi, OPI, CND and other professional-grade European products, swap tools between every client, and run dry instruments through an EU-certified steriliser. Pricing starts at €25 for a no-polish manicure and goes up through gel polish, gel-nail care, designs, repairs or paraffin SPA depending on what your nails need.

What we offer
The price list has eight rows that cover everything from a quick clean-up to a long relaxing session. No-polish manicure €25 is a classic dry or combination treatment with shaping and cuticle work — the choice when you prefer the natural nail or want a clean base before polishing at home. Manicure with gel polish €35 is our most-booked treatment — gel polish stays put for around three weeks and handles dish-washing, gym sessions and car repairs without chipping. Gel-nail correction €45–50 is the monthly maintenance on existing gel extensions. Nail extensions €55–80 lengthen the natural nail by 1–4 mm. Design €2–10 on top, depending on complexity. Nail repair €5–7 per broken corner. Gel polish removal + no-polish manicure €35. SPA paraffin treatment €10 for an extra layer of skin care.
The manicure process
The appointment opens with a hand and nail review where the specialist decides between a classic, dry or combination approach. First comes shaping with a file or e-file according to your preference, then cuticle softening and removal using either dry or bath technique. For gel polish clients, we follow with a base coat, two colour layers (sometimes three on intense shades), each cured under the LED lamp for 30–60 seconds. A glossy top coat seals the look and you leave with three weeks of chip-free wear. For classic polishing we apply on average four coats per session; the polish air-dries, so we ask for ten minutes of stillness before you reach for your bag. The whole appointment runs from 30 min (no polish) to 2 h (complex designs on long nails).
Gel polish longevity
Gel polish lasts on average three weeks, sometimes four — it depends on nail growth rate, daily mechanical load, and how often you handle chemicals. Stronger nails hold gel polish longer; you’ll see fresh nail growth at the cuticle around days 7–10. We recommend correction on day 21, before the polish starts lifting at the edges — that prevents moisture getting under the coat and softening the nail plate. Wait five or more weeks and the polish starts to crack or peel, and removing it without nail damage becomes harder. In the salon we remove gel polish with specialist acetone in 15–25 minutes and finish with a nourishing oil for the cuticles.
Aftercare
For the first 60 minutes after gel polish, avoid hot water, cosmetics and heavy physical load — the coating finishes setting in that window. After that: use cuticle oil (sweet almond, jojoba, mu-glycol) every day to keep the nail bed soft and hydrated. Wear gloves for kitchen work, car cleaning and gardening — both oils and household chemicals attack gel polish and the natural nail. For no-polish nails we recommend oiling morning and evening, especially if your hands meet water and detergent often. Avoid biting nails or cuticles — within two weeks it will tear the gel polish off, and your natural nail will start to thin.
Why Ketyswit
Three certified manicure specialists — every one holds an EKA or European Beauty Academy diploma + completes at least two upskilling courses per year (rubber base in 2024, BIAB in 2025, evaluation of new-category gel polishes). Seven plus years at T1 Mall — same location, same specialists, which reduces the handover gap between two appointments. EU-certified sterilisation — autoclave in service since 2021, fresh single-use files for every client, e-file bits through 134 °C dry heat between sessions. Saloninfra booking — you pick a specific specialist, see live availability, receive an SMS reminder 24 hours ahead. Pricing from €25 which is competitive for the T1 Mall area against city-centre salons (€40+) with no quality compromise.
FAQ
Do I need to remove old gel polish before booking? No, removal is part of the session — we take it off and apply new polish in one appointment. €0 extra if you continue with gel; €35 if you want only the no-polish manicure after removal.
Is gel polish bad for nails? Not when applied by a professional and removed regularly in a salon. The “scrape it off at home” approach is what damages nails.
Can I come in for a single broken-nail repair? Yes, the €5–7 repair fee covers shaping a broken corner so it blends in for a week or so.
Do you use single-use instruments? Files are new for every client; e-file bits run through an autoclave between sessions.
Is there parking? T1’s underground parking is free for the first 90 minutes — enough for a no-polish or simple gel session.
2026 seasonal palette
We started 2026 with soft greys and cool neutrals: milk-flower cream, pale mocha and deep foggy grey for autumn evenings. We track Pantone’s Cool Greys + the 2025 Mocha Mousse palette refresh, knowing that T1 Mall visitors usually wear black and beige — which pairs better with cold-pink or wine-purple than with hot pink. French manicure is back with a thin 0.8 mm white tip — ask for it if you have meetings or a choir performance. Chrome powder and cat-eye effect remain popular for parties and birthdays — design fee €5–10. Summer 2026 rotates lilacs, yellows and strong coral shades with subtle shimmer. If you’re unsure what matches your skin tone, a specialist runs a five-minute consultation on the Pantone colour wheel.
Material provenance
Every manicure material at Ketyswit goes through a simple check: EU-produced OPI, CND, Kodi, Luxio come directly from importers, kept in original packaging and storage of 18–22 °C. We do not use Indian or Chinese “new-brand” gel polishes that arrive without an INCI composition — we see allergic reactions and nail-plate delamination on clients who tried them at home. All colours are registered under EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009; INCI composition is available for every product — if you need to avoid a specific acid or resin (acrylates, HEMA, TPO), tell the specialist and we choose a safe range. Sterilisation pouches go through UV + autoclave; the indicator strip changes colour at the correct cycle temperature.
