What changes the price?
- Length: short and long extensions cost more than an overlay on your natural nails.
- Nail art: simple designs, chrome, French tips and charms are added per set, from about 20,000 VND.
- Removal: if you arrive with an old gel, BIAB or acrylic set, removal is charged separately.
- Add-ons: heel care, scrub and foot massage are not included in a basic pedicure. A combo is usually cheaper than booking them one by one.
Gel vs BIAB vs acrylic: which is best for a beach holiday?
Sea water, sunscreen and pool chlorine are hard on nails, so durability matters more on holiday than at home.
| Gel polish | BIAB (builder gel) | Acrylic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price at Liti | from $7.5 | from $15 | from $19 |
| Typically lasts | 2–3 weeks | 3–4 weeks | 3–4 weeks, then a fill |
| Feel | Thin, natural | Natural but stronger | Hard, can be long |
| Best for | Short trips, natural nails | Weak or peeling nails, long trips | Length and bold designs |
Our tip: if you are travelling for more than two weeks, BIAB is the best value. It survives swimming and backpacks much better than regular gel, and it can be removed cleanly when you get home.
