Long square nails with metallic magenta chrome French tips and pearl accents

Overview

What to expect.

Nails are what we're known for. We do gel and acrylic extensions, builder gel overlays and detailed art: chrome French tips, pearls, gold charms, 3D flowers and freehand line work.

We start by looking at your natural nails and asking about your routine, then recommend the length and shape that will suit you and wear well, whether that's square, almond, coffin or stiletto.

About pricing: Final price depends on length, shape and how detailed the art is. Plain gel and simple French sets cost less.

Aftercare

Make it last longer.

  • Don't use your nails as tools to open cans or peel labels.
  • Book a fill every 2–3 weeks to keep the structure balanced.

FAQ

How long do gel and acrylic nails last?

With good aftercare, most sets look their best for two to three weeks. After that, we recommend a fill to rebalance the nail as it grows.

Can you copy a design from a photo?

Yes. Send your inspiration picture when you book on WhatsApp and we'll recreate it or adapt it to suit your nail length and shape.

Do you do bridal and event nails?

Yes. We create soft, elegant bridal sets and statement looks for matric dances, birthdays and events. Book early for weekend dates.

How much do nails cost?

Sets start from R450. The final price depends on length, shape and art. Message us a photo of the look you want for an exact quote.
