Designs with examples
French tips
The classic: a natural nail with a contrasting tip. The tip can be white or coloured, as here in red with a gold outline.
French tips with a motif
French tips whose ends carry their own motif, such as black tips with little stars.
Ombré and babyboomer
A soft gradient from one shade into another. If it runs from nude to white, it is called babyboomer.
Chrome
A mirror finish: a fine pigment powder is rubbed onto the cured colour and sealed. The nails shine like polished metal.
Mother-of-pearl
A delicate shimmer that changes colour with the light, like the inside of a shell.
Marble
A veining like in stone, painted by hand in gel.
Nail art and 3D
Motifs painted or modelled by hand: dots, lines, stars, raised flowers, stones.
Stiletto
Not a colour but a shape: long and tapering to a point, here in blue with nail art.
Shapes
Regardless of the design, the shape of an extension can be chosen: round and oval look natural, square emphasises the tip, almond tapers to a narrow tip, stiletto ends in a point, ballerina is long and cut straight at the front. Long and pointed shapes need an extension; with Shellac on the natural nail, your own shape stays.
What does a design cost?
Designs are added to the extension or Shellac and agreed with you before the treatment. Feel free to bring a picture; you can find many pieces from our studios in the gallery.
