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.
Nail design covers shaping, polishing, and decorating fingernails or toenails using techniques like gel polish, acrylic extensions, and nail art. A professional shapes the nail, prepares the cuticle, applies the chosen product, and finishes with colour or detailed art. The goal is a clean, even result that suits your hand shape and daily routine.
Metal tools should be cleaned in disinfectant between clients or run through an autoclave. Files and buffers must be new or replaced for each visit, since reused porous tools carry bacteria. Pedicure bowls must be disinfected after every use. If you see dirty implements, leave and book elsewhere.
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.
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.
The technician shapes the nail, removes dead cuticle, buffs the surface, and applies base coat, colour, and top coat. For extensions, a tip or form is glued or fitted before layers are built up. Each gel layer cures under a UV or LED lamp for 30 to 60 seconds before the next coat.
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.
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.
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.
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.
