Natural shine, no polish

A Japanese manicure gives natural nails a soft, polished-looking sheen without gel, BIAB, acrylic or coloured polish. We shape the nails and buff mineral-rich paste and powder into the nail surface. The finish is clean and understated, with no colour or extensions to remove later.

A natural, no-colour choice for anyone who avoids conventional polish, including for personal or religious reasons. This service uses paste and powder, so please check your own requirements if your nails must be product-free.

How the treatment works

We shape the natural nails and carefully tidy the cuticles. Mineral-rich paste is worked into each nail, then fine powder is buffed over it for a soft sheen. Cuticle oil and hand cream complete the appointment.

A natural finish for men

For men who want well-groomed hands without coloured polish, a Japanese manicure keeps the look subtle. We shape the natural nails, tidy the surrounding skin and buff to a gentle sheen.

Come in before an event, an interview or simply as part of your regular grooming. Everyone is welcome at our Canary Wharf studio, and the finish never relies on gel or colour.

Japanese manicure FAQs

Is a Japanese manicure the same as gel or BIAB?
No. A Japanese manicure uses mineral-rich paste and fine powder buffed into your natural nails. It gives a subtle sheen without gel, BIAB, acrylic, coloured polish or extensions.
What happens during the appointment?
We shape the natural nails and tidy the cuticles, work mineral paste into each nail, then buff with fine powder for a soft shine. We finish with cuticle oil and hand cream. The appointment takes about one hour.
Is a Japanese manicure suitable for men?
Yes. This is a natural, no-colour nail treatment for anyone who wants tidy cuticles, shaped nails and a discreet sheen. The finish is your own nail rather than a visible layer of polish.
Can I book if I currently have gel, BIAB or acrylic?
Those products need to be removed first because a Japanese manicure is performed on natural nails. We generally do not recommend booking it immediately after a full removal, when freshly exposed nails may be sensitive. Please ask us if you are unsure when to book.
How long does it take and where can I book?
The Japanese manicure takes approximately one hour and starts from £50. Visit Nails Murr Luxe at 77 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SH, near Canary Wharf. Use Book now to see current availability and confirm the price before booking.
Can I book if I avoid nail polish for religious reasons?
This Japanese manicure uses no gel or coloured polish, but mineral paste and powder are buffed into the nails. We cannot confirm whether any residue meets specific wudu or ghusl requirements. If this matters to you, please check with a trusted religious adviser before booking.
Is a Japanese manicure suitable for healthcare workers?
Some clinical roles require short, clean nails and prohibit all nail products. This treatment uses paste and powder, so do not assume it meets NHS or employer rules just because there is no gel or coloured polish. Please check your workplace policy before booking.
