How do I plan a nail art design?

Think about where you'll be wearing it. A design for a concert or vacation can be loud, while work nails usually look best with one or two accent fingers and simple solids on the rest. Also consider how long you'll live with it, since art stays on for weeks.

Gather two or three references rather than ten. It's easier to blend a couple of ideas than to choose between a dozen.

How do I ask for nail art at my appointment?

When you book, mention nail art in your notes and say roughly how many nails will have it. Then text your inspiration to (216) 260-4488 so Danielle can estimate the time and price. If a design won't work on your length or shape, she'll suggest an adjustment before you sit down instead of surprising you mid-appointment.

What base is best for nail art?

Art is layered on top of a base service. A gel manicure, starting at $43, works for most designs on natural nails. Gel X, from $65, gives a longer canvas for detailed work. Luminary builder gel, from $85, adds strength under heavier art and gems.

Brazilian prep comes first no matter which base you choose. A clean cuticle area gives the design a sharp frame.

How much do nail art designs cost?

Custom art is priced at [PRICE] and depends on detail and the number of nails involved. Some finishes have set prices: ombre starts at $15 and chrome is $15. You'll know the full price before the first stroke.

How long does nail art last?

Painted designs are sealed under a cured top coat, so they wear about as long as the base, usually three to four weeks. Raised gems and charms are the exception and can catch on sweaters or hair. Cuticle oil every day and gloves for chores help the design stay crisp until your next visit.

Who is nail art for?

Anyone who wants their nails to say a little more. Some clients change the theme every visit, others keep a signature accent they love. Both are welcome, and simple art is a good first step if you've only ever worn one color.

Nail art also makes a thoughtful gift for a birthday or graduation. Coordinated designs for a group, like a girls' trip or a bachelorette weekend, can be mapped out together so each person gets a variation on the same theme rather than identical copies.
