About Nail Design
How long a full set takes
A basic gel manicure usually takes 35 to 50 minutes. An acrylic or gel extension full set takes 60 to 90 minutes. Detailed hand-painted art on every nail can add 20 to 40 minutes. Book extra time if you want both hands and feet done in one visit.
Choosing between gel, acrylic, and dip
Gel uses a UV-cured liquid layer, acrylic mixes a powder with liquid monomer, and dip powder is brushed on then sealed. Gel feels lighter and looks glossier. Acrylic is harder and stronger for long extensions. Pick based on how much length you want and how often you can return for fills.
What nail design covers
Nail design covers shaping, cuticle work, and the application of colour or art on fingernails and toenails. Common options include gel polish, acrylic or gel extensions, nail strengthening overlays, and detailed hand-painted art. Ask which specific service is included before booking so the price matches the work you want done.
Safe removal matters
Gel removes with 100 percent acetone soaked in foil for 10 to 15 minutes. Acrylic needs an electric file or careful soaking, never peeling or biting off. Dip powder lifts with acetone and a coarse file. Forceful removal strips the top nail layer and causes thinning for 4 to 6 months.
Aftercare and daily maintenance
Apply cuticle oil twice a day for 7 days after the appointment. Wear gloves for cleaning or dish washing because hot water softens the bond. Avoid using nails as tools to pry or scrape. Book a fill every 14 to 21 days for gel and every 2 to 4 weeks for acrylic.
Common problems and their causes
Lifting within 5 days usually means the nail was not dehydrated or the product was applied too thick. Yellowing comes from UV exposure or dark pigment without a base coat. Cracking at the sidewall points to a tip pressed on too narrow. Bubbles form when the gel is cured too hot or too thick.
What happens during the appointment
The technician sanitises both hands, then trims and files to the agreed shape. Cuticle work follows with nippers or a soft remover. A dehydrator and primer go on, then the chosen product in thin layers. Each layer cures or sets fully before the next, finishing with a top coat and cuticle oil.
Preparing your nails before the appointment
Remove old polish at home 24 hours before so the technician can start clean. Push back, do not cut, your cuticles for 3 days prior. Avoid oils, creams, or cuticle softener on appointment day because they block adhesion. File any sharp edges square so the technician can assess your natural nail length.
Hygiene and tool sterilisation
Metal tools should pass through a hospital-grade autoclave or be fully immersed in a registered cold sterilant for the label time, usually 20 to 30 minutes. Files and buffers must be new for each client. Disposable items like pumice sticks and toe separators are single-use only and discarded in a closed bin after.
What to check before hiring
Look for a portfolio with clear, recent photos taken under daylight. Ask which brands they use and check the labels are sealed, not decanted. Confirm the technician holds a current hygiene certificate. Read at least 10 reviews mentioning lifting, breakage, or allergic reactions to spot recurring problems before booking.
