Services You Can Add-On With Nail Art

Manicures

Nail art can be paired seamlessly with any manicure to elevate your nail care experience. Whether you prefer a classic French manicure with a twist or want to incorporate intricate designs on your freshly manicured nails, the possibilities are endless. A manicure sets the perfect foundation for any nail art, ensuring your nails look polished and refined.

Pedicures

Pairing nail art with a pedicure adds a special touch to your toes, making them look just as fabulous as your fingers. From simple designs on your big toe to more elaborate art on all toes, nail art can transform your pedicure into a statement piece, perfect for showing off in open-toed shoes.

Gel X Nail Extensions

Gel X nail extensions are innovative gel extensions that are flexible, durable, and provide a natural look and feel. When paired with nail art, these extensions offer a stunning canvas for intricate designs, allowing for more creative freedom. The result is a long-lasting, beautiful set of nails that look both natural and artistic.

Gel Polish

Nail art paired with gel polish is the perfect combination for those seeking a long-lasting, chip-resistant finish. Gel polish provides a glossy, durable base and top coat that keeps your nail art looking fresh and vibrant for weeks. This pairing is ideal for those who want a low-maintenance option without sacrificing style.
