Design guide

Four levels, by time

Pick the level closest to your picture. The more art on the nails, the longer the chair is yours, and the booking page shows the price for each.

How to send a picture

  1. 01

    Step 1: Save what you love

    A photo, a screenshot or a sketch. Two or three pictures show more than one.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Text it to the studio

    Send your pictures to the text line after you book, or bring them on the day.

  3. 03

    Step 3: We plan it together

    We settle length, shape and level, and tell you the time the set needs.

  4. 04

    Step 4: We confirm the day

    If the plan changes the time, we tell you before the day, not during it.

What adds time

What can lengthen a set

  • Extra length

    A longer set or a shape like stiletto needs more building time.

  • 3D pieces

    Sculpted flowers and charms are made and placed one at a time.

  • Chrome and cat-eye

    A finish added to a set takes its own step under the lamp.

  • Characters and small scenes

    Fine hand-drawn detail takes the most time per nail.

  • Removal of other work

    Taking off gel, acrylic or dip happens before the set starts.
