What to Expect During Your Nail Art Service
- Design consultation — We begin by discussing your vision, style preferences, and the occasion. Whether you have a specific design in mind or need inspiration, we'll work together to create the perfect look. We recommend bringing reference photos if you have a specific design in mind.
- Nail preparation — Your nails are cleaned and prepared with a polished base. This ensures the nail art adheres properly and lasts as long as possible. We also apply a base colour if needed for your design.
- Art application — Using fine detail brushes, dotting tools, and premium products, our talented artists create your custom design with precision and care. We take our time to ensure every detail is perfect.
- Curing or drying — Depending on the type of art, we either cure the design under an LED/UV lamp or allow it to dry naturally. This ensures your nail art stays beautiful and long-lasting.
- Finishing — We apply a top coat to protect your design and add a beautiful glossy shine. Your nails are now a work of art!
