Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Design.

A full design appointment usually takes 90 to 150 minutes depending on complexity, nail extensions, and drying/curing time. Detailed or multi-layered artwork can extend the session; your technician will give a time estimate during consultation.

Absolutely — we encourage clients to bring photos or Pinterest boards. The artist will adapt ideas to nail size, shape, and longevity, suggesting modifications for wearability while preserving key elements of your chosen design.

Yes — our artists apply full designs on both acrylics and natural nails. Acrylic or gel extensions may provide a smoother canvas for complex art, while technicians will adjust techniques to ensure adhesion and durability on natural nails.

Come with clean, polish-free nails; remove any oils or lotions. If you wear extensions or enhancements, arrive as usual. Avoid long sun exposure or recent tanning that may affect skin sensitivity; eat and stay hydrated for comfort during longer sessions.

Lifespan depends on your nail growth and lifestyle; expect two to four weeks before a fill or repair may be desired. Gel topcoats and proper aftercare extend wear, while active hands may require earlier maintenance.

Some complex techniques, hand-painted murals, or 3D applications can incur an extra fee. Pricing varies with time, materials, and embellishments; your artist will review costs before starting and provide a clear quote so you know exactly what to expect.
