About Nail Design
Aftercare and daily maintenance
Wear gloves for cleaning, washing dishes, or gardening to protect the design. Apply cuticle oil once a day to keep the nail bed flexible. Avoid using nails as tools to pry or scrape. Reapply a fresh top coat every 7 to 10 days to restore shine and seal the colour.
How long a full set takes
A full gel set on natural nails usually takes 45 to 75 minutes. Acrylic extensions with shaping need 90 to 120 minutes. Dip powder sits in the middle at about 60 to 90 minutes. Detailed nail art, like hand-painted patterns or small stones, adds 15 to 45 minutes per hand depending on complexity.
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.
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.
Preparing your nails before the appointment
Remove old polish at home the day before, but avoid cutting cuticles yourself within 48 hours. Push back the cuticle gently after a warm shower. Skip hand cream on appointment day so the nail plate is dry and the product bonds well. Short, clean nails give the technician a stable base.
What makes the price change
Price varies with the technician's experience, the salon's location, and the complexity of the design. Plain gel is the baseline, hand-painted art adds per nail, and 3D elements or rhinestones add more. Long extensions cost extra over short overlays. Always ask for a written quote covering the full work.
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.
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.
How long results should last
Gel polish typically lasts 14 to 21 days without major chipping. Acrylic extensions need a fill every 2 to 3 weeks as the natural nail grows. Dip powder lasts around 21 to 28 days. Lifting, peeling, or yellowing within 1 week usually signals poor application or preparation.
Common problems and their causes
Lifting at the cuticle within 3 days means the nail bed was oily or the base coat was too thin. Bubbles in gel come from applying thick coats or cold product. Cracking at the tip suggests the extension was too long for the natural nail. Yellowing often traces to low-quality top coat.
