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.
Gel polish should be removed by filing the top coat and soaking in acetone for 10 to 15 minutes, never picked or pried off. Acrylics need professional filing or acetone soaking to avoid damaging the natural nail. Ripping extensions off rips layers of the real nail with them.
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.
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.
Ask to see the technician's portfolio of recent work on real clients. Confirm the salon follows local hygiene rules and uses sterilised or single-use tools. Check that gel products are cured with a proper lamp, not air-dried. A clear price list for each service prevents surprise charges at the end.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
